In the Passport is the glue between the researcher, data and computing blog post I introduced GA4GH Passports as an enabler of “the bring compute to data” paradigm. CINECA WP2 also contributed to GA4GH Passport standard for Digital identity and access permissions publication in Cell Genomics in autumn 2021.

This blog is less of a technical report in our Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) standards series than the previous 4, and more of a report on how WP6 - ‘Outreach, training and dissemination’ is contributing to developing better implementation of GA4GH standards.
Read MoreThis month’s blog was written by Melanie Courtot, metadata standards coordinator at EMBL-EBI and co-Work Package Lead of CINECA WP3 - Cohort Level Metadata Representation. This blog is the fourth in our Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) standards series, presenting an overview of how GA4GH standards are being developed and implemented by CINECA. In our April post about Passport, Mikael from CINECA WP2 explained the importance of controlled-access to protect sensitive data, federated data access in the cloud and how Passport enables researchers to authenticate - prove they are who they say they are.

This blog is the third in our GA4GH standards series, presenting an overview of how GA4GH standards are being developed and implemented by CINECA. For the first blog in the series, giving a broad overview of how CINECA is facilitating federated data discovery, access and analysis, please see Dylan Spalding’s blog Implementation of GA4GH standards in CINECA.

This blog is the second in our GA4GH standards series, presenting an overview of how GA4GH standards are being developed and implemented by CINECA.
