ID-to-Dataset Resolution

EXA4MIND aims at faciltiating FAIR Research Data Management and Data Publication from all the various backends in a generlised EXA4MIND/EDD instance. To this end, it has to provide a mechanism to retrieve database data under a persistent identifier (PID) as required by the FAIR principles.

In order to flexibly define research data products from databases (with mostly cold data), we have been programming a REST API with lightweight database backend.

This ID-to-Dataset Resolution Submodule allows - via REST API endpoints - for the assignment of data product IDs (UUIDs, PIDs) to combinations of target data(base) systems and queries, and for the retrieval of the data products.

The code of this REST API is being made ready for publication, and an appropriate README / specific documentation is produced as well.
