sage bionetworks

enables sharing of all resources (data, code, results) and their relationships to one another

multi-channel communication instead of uni-directional broadcasting

aides in reproducibility by enabling communication throughout the research process

not only at time of publication


sage bionetworks

distributed & versioned file system rich annotations (metadata) customizable schemas for structured data agnostic to storage solution (cloud, local server, etc.)

wiki authoring

access controls (share whatever with whomever)
