Datajoint

What is Datajoint?

There is an initiative in the Euler lab group to change the way our data is stored and accessed. Currently, data is stored in each lab members directories with little consistency in naming and directory organisation between individuals. The ambition of the Euler lab Datajoint project is to move from the present system to one where data is processed and stored in a consistent manner which is easily accessible to everyone.

In order to achieve this, a pipeline of computational tools will need to be established and integrated into the experimental and analytical workflow in the lab. The development is being coordinated by Prof. Dr. Thomas Euler, Dr. Philipp Berens, Dr. Tom Baden, Luke Rogerson, and Theresa Stadler, with additional contributions from the CIN IT services and other members of AG Euler and AG Bethge. If you have any questions, please refer them to one of the individuals listed above.

Integral to this process is the use of the Datajoint toolkit. In the words of the designers:

DataJoint for MATLAB and Python3 is a high-level programming interface for MySQL databases to support data processing chains in science labs. DataJoint is built on the foundation of the relational data model and prescribes a consistent method for organizing, populating, and querying data.
