Data Analysis#

The IMQCAM data management system uses Whole Tale to provide access to customizable, container-based interactive analysis environments such as JupyterLab, RStudio, and MATLAB.

Whole Tale enables the following capabilities for seedling researchers:

  • Interactively analyze and visualized IMQCAM data in the cloud

  • Create and share reproducible computational research environments and artifacts

  • Configure computational environments with the exact versions of operations system and software used to obtain results

  • Publish research artifacts to popular research archives, such as Zenodo

The IMQCAM data portal user interface is illustrated in Fig. 9 illustrates the Whole Tale capabilities provided to IMQCAM seedling collaborators. From within the IMQCAM data portal, users can select data to be analyzed in Whole Tale (a) and browse or share existing tales with other users (b). Tales (c) are customizable container images based on comment IDEs such as JupyterLab (d).

About Whole Tale#

Whole Tale is an open-source, scalable web-based platform for transparent and reproducible computational research. The primary goal of the platform is to simplify the process of creating, sharing, publishing, re-executing, and verifying published computational research artifacts, called tales. Tales are standards-based composite objects that capture the data, code, and complete software environment used to produce findings.
