Tracking intermediate stages in data flow

[ByroneCole-SageBionetworks]

• for each dataset to be submitted in INCLUDE, a project manager completes a data plan form providing:

• dataset contributor

• target dataset submission date

• dataset type: selected among the dataset types available in the INCLUDE data model (e.g. biosample data, demographics

• clinical data, demographics family history, bulk RNA-seq data, etc.)

• target release date

• governance access controls & PHI checklist

• for each dataset described in the data plan, in addition to indicating target submission date and target release date information, the DFA dashboard tracks the dataset status

• has been submitted (true/false)

• metadata have been validated (true/false)

• data have been QC-ed (true/false)

• dataset is ready for release (true/false)

• dataset is released (true/false)

• the DFA tracks distribution of datasets across data types, contributors and release state, so that project managers and program officers can alert relevant parties for bottlenecks, etc.
