Requirements

Warning

🚧 This section is still in active development and is subject to changes 🚧

Technical requirements

Run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux (likely on servers): Our potential users work on any of these systems, so we need to design for that
Use open source software dependencies: We will use an open license, so we need to use components that are open as well
Integrate GDPR, privacy, and security compliance: Our target users work with health data, so this is vital to consider
Deployable to servers and locally: Could be used locally but mainly used on a server environment
Storage and computing may be at different locations: Where data are stored vs analyzed will likely be different

One Seedcase “instance” per Data Resource: Some users may have multiple Data Resources, so the Seedcase Product will create separate “instances” for each Data Resource.
Upload or update data: Input data into the Data Resource in batches or continuously into the backend storage, either into the database or as raw data files.
Upload or update metadata: When inputting data, attach metadata along side it.
Store changes to the data in a changelog: Track and list changes made to the data within the Data Resource for auditing and recordkeeping.
Display metadata and basic information on the data in the Data Resource on a user interface: So external users and users interested in data in the Data Resource can browse what is available.
