The table below summarizes the services and technologies provided by BlueBRIDGE. You can equip your Virtual Research Environment (Click here for more information on VREs) with one or more of the services/technologies listed below.
Name | Description/Link |
Data harmonization | The Data Harmonization facility supports the semi-automatic harmonization of time series with respect to code lists and controlled vocabularies. It provides a suite for human curators that can define tailored template for harmonizing series of time series. |
Data Miner |
DataMiner Manager[1] is a computational engine for performing data analytics operations. Specifically, it offers a unique access to perform data analytics on heterogeneous data, which may reside either at client side, in the form of comma-separated values files, or be remotely hosted, possibly in a database. [1] If you need to run an algorithm or a model on the infrastructure you need Data Miner |
