On June 25 and 26, Thomas Denecker presented madbot at the general assembly of France Génomique.
Until now, madbot was mostly presented as a tool for researchers. This talk showed a new use case: a data production or analysis platform feeds madbot directly, inside the researcher’s collaborative project space.
Laurent Jourdren (GenomiqueENS) then shared how his platform does it: scripts call madbot’s API to add data and metadata as they are produced.
Why it matters
- Data and metadata are gathered all along the project, not at the last minute.
- Researchers save time when the moment comes to submit.
Several platforms present at the assembly said they were interested in adopting madbot. Read the IFB article (in French).
