Data Core

Also known as
Also known as: 
  • Data Core

What's Included

Data Core is intended primarily for faculty and their collaborators, including student projects or instruction.  It is designed to facilitate and streamline research and analysis by providing the following services:

  • Securely store and customize researcher access to data in accordance with access restrictions from data use agreements, IRB protocols, and other constraints relevant to the type of data
  • Provide a shared workspace for members of a research team to ensure all researchers are working with the most up-to-date information, including common reference data. This includes non-Weill Cornell collaborators
  • Hold source data in read-only format to prevent overwriting
  • Enable software applications for research and analytics (see list below) 
  • Eliminate duplicative or less secure data management methods (such as local and remote data storage and computing)
  • Simplify research data management
  • Eligibility for metadata management capabilities as they are developed.

Additional Features

  • Default Windows 2016 environment, though others are possible with potentially additional setup cost, including associated relational database.
  • Centrally managed login using Weill Cornell CWID authentication. Non-WCM collaborators may request a CWID through their WCM Sponsor.
  • Remote access (i.e. from anywhere outside the WCM network) is restricted and only available via RemoteApps
  • File sharing services for project resources including source data, reference data where applicable, group analytical data, group workspaces, and individual workspaces
  • Data transfer upon request, in accordance with data governance plans
  • Data archiving upon project completion, also in accordance with data governance plan (cost only for appropriate storage services). The Data Core team can assist with certain aspects of making data public, with potential charges depending on what is needed.
  • Direct technical support by submitting a Data Core Work Request
