Managing Research data in YoDa

YoDa is a research data management service that enables researchers from Utrecht University and their partners to securely deposit, share, publish, and preserve large amounts of research data during all stages of a research project. This service is managed and supported by an interdisciplinary team of university employees. The software has been developed at Utrecht University and is used by multiple organizations, both in the Netherlands and abroad. YoDa is built on the iRODS data management system which makes it a data management and data repository system simultaneously. iRODS (Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System) is an open-source data management software that provides a flexible and comprehensive solution for organizing, sharing, and preserving large and complex data sets. iRODS is designed to handle data from various sources, including scientific instruments, file systems, databases, and web services. It provides a unified namespace, data indexing, and metadata management, making it easy to locate and access data from multiple locations. iRODS also includes a rules engine that allows users to automate data management tasks and enforce policies, ensuring data integrity and security. In the present workshop, we show the basic concepts and functionalities of YoDa, e.g., getting access, uploading, sharing, and publishing data workflows on YoDa. Also, we presented the best practices for using YoDa
