The user should be able to associate metadata in a flexible way and without a predefined format to the data that are uploaded.
The user should be able to search the data exploiting the metadata service. This should be possible for very large datasets
When ingested by the infrastructure the user can specify tasks and workflow to be executed on data before being stored.
The system should be able to identify computing resources to perform the requested actions. The feature should be available at the infrastructure level, in a form that is pluggable with virtually any user-based application/algorithm. The user community should take care of the application that will be executed.
Examples:
- experiment-independent quality checks before storing data
- data skimming
- metadata extraction
- indexing
