This is the first release of Local EGA software, an extension for the European Genome-Phenome archive (EGA), which enables storing datasets locally while making it discoverable in the EGA dataset catalog. This version supports:
- Ingestion of files to Local EGA and communication to Central EGA about the archived files,
- Integrity check and re-encryption of the ingested files (using industry-standard algorithms),
- Access to archived files using htsget streaming protocol and http(s) downloads (EGA Data API),
- Authorising the data use using OAuth2 access tokens from ELIXIR AAI and EGA.
These core functionalities were demonstrated in a Sprint Review meeting on 12 April 2018. The code is split in several repositories:
- Main repository for Local EGA implementation (this repository)
- PAM module for user authentication
- Encryption tool for end-users submission
- EGA Data API for accessing archived datasets
