DataSHIELD

This module constitutes the infrastructure to run DataSHIELD within the bridghead. For more information about DataSHIELD, please visit https://www.datashield.org/

R-Studio

To connect to the different bridgeheads of the CCP through DataSHIELD, you can use your own R-Studio environment. However, this R-Studio has already installed the DataSHIELD libraries and is integrated within the bridgehead. This can save you some time for extra configuration of your R-Studio environment.

Opal

This is the core of DataSHIELD. It is made up of Opal, a Postgres database and an R-server. For more information about Opal, please visit https://opaldoc.obiba.org

Opal

Opal is OBiBas core database application for biobanks.

Opal-DB

Opal requires a database to import the data for DataSHIELD. We use a Postgres instance as database. The data is imported within the bridgehead through the exporter.

Opal-R-Server

R-Server to execute R scripts in DataSHIELD.

Beam

Beam-Connect

Beam-Connect is used to route http(s) traffic through beam to enable R-Studio to access data from other bridgeheads that have datashield enabled.

Beam-Proxy

The usual beam proxy used for communication.
