GigaDB

GigaDB primarily serves as a repository to host data and tools associated with articles in GigaScience; however, it also includes a subset of datasets that are not associated with GigaScience articles (see below). GigaDB defines a dataset as a group of files (e.g., sequencing data, analyses, imaging files, software programs) that are related to and support an article or study. Through our association with DataCite, each dataset in GigaDB will be assigned a DOI that can be used as a standard citation for future use of these data in other articles by the authors and other researchers. Datasets in GigaDB all require a title that is specific to the dataset, an author list, and an abstract that provides information specific to the data included within the set. We encourage detailed information about the data we host to be submitted by their creators in ISA-Tab, a format used by the BioSharing and ISA Commons communities that we work with to maintain the highest data and metadata standards in our journal. To maximize its utility to the research community, all datasets in GigaDB are placed under a CC0 waiver (for more information on the issues surrounding CC0 and data see Hrynaszkiewicz and Cockerill, 2012).GigaDB主要作为仓储平台，用于存储与《GigaScience》期刊论文相关联的数据与工具；不过其亦收录部分未关联《GigaScience》论文的数据集（详见下文）。GigaDB将数据集定义为一组与某篇论文或某项研究相关且可为其提供支撑的文件，例如测序数据、分析结果、成像文件、软件程序等。依托与DataCite（数据引文中心）的合作关系，GigaDB内的每一项数据集都将被分配一个数字对象标识符（DOI），该标识符可作为标准引用格式，供作者及其他研究人员在后续其他论文中使用这些数据时引用。GigaDB内的所有数据集均需配备专属标题、作者列表，以及一份用于说明该数据集所包含数据具体信息的摘要。我们鼓励所托管数据的创建者采用ISA-Tab格式（ISA-Tab）提交该数据的详细信息；该格式由我们合作的BioSharing社区（BioSharing）与ISA Commons社区（ISA Commons）所采用，旨在助力本期刊维持最高水准的数据与元数据标准。为最大化数据集对研究共同体的实用价值，GigaDB内的所有数据集均适用CC0豁免协议（CC0）；如需了解CC0协议与数据相关的更多细节，可参阅Hrynaszkiewicz与Cockerill于2012年发表的相关研究。
