Data management, design and engineering
GRICAD supports projects in their needs around management, design and data engineering:
- Data Management Plan, legal issues questions legal, General Data Protection Regulation.
- Data collection, extraction and curation.
- Databases, modeling, architecture, workflow.
- Data mining, visualization, cross-referencing.

GRICAD coordinates the Cellule Data Grenoble Alpes in
charge of supporting scientists in the management
of their research data.
It is composed of members of the UAR GRICAD, university libraries,
laboratories and the DIST CNRS.

Work on research data
The technologies implemented are available on
GRICAD's cloud platform (NOVA). A team is at the
disposal of project leaders to help them in their
implementation, from the assessment of needs to the
provision of tools.
GRICAD can help you to start your massive and/or
complex data processing projects by:
- providing you with one or more virtual machines on the Openstack infrastructure,
- installing the software stacks he masters on these machines (Elasticseach, Logstash, Kibana, ArangoDB,...),
- supporting you on the configuration and use of these softwares.
- Confidentiality, legal innovation, security, GDRP (data acquisition, access security, anonymization, open data,...).
- Quality, traceability, life cycle (data cleaning, traceability for different purposes - including reproducibility and justification for publication -, link to data management plans).
- Experimental platforms, test environment, DB and GIS technologies, statistical tools, survey specificities, massive web data processing. Query, selective presentation, data enhancement.
- Evolution of infrastructures according to needs.
