Chapter 11 Team Projects

Science is performed by teams in the context of research projects. Both concepts are integrated into Tercen. Researchers are member of a team. The team creates project. The project determines what type of data and workflows the team work on for the research study. Without a project a researcher cannot upload data or create a workflow.

A team is:

• created by a user
• composed of members, a set of users (i.e. researchers)
• a library (i.e. set) of apps (called library)

A project is:

• created by a team
• a set of data (i.e. tables)
• a set of workflows

A user (i.e. researcher) may be a member of many teams and therefore access many projects.
