Libnova Labdrive

Advanced Research Data Management and Preservation Platform

Labdrive is a scientific data management and preservation platform designed to meet the most demanding requirements for data integrity, security, and regulatory compliance.

Labdrive simplifies the management of large volumes of data throughout its entire lifecycle, ensuring its preservation, accessibility, and reproducibility.

Key Features of LABDRIVE

Flexible Uploads Methods

Labdrive supports data uploads via its web interface, API compatible with S3 tools, and REST methods.

Automated Preservation Processes

During upload, the system automatically generates a unique identifier (UUID), verifies integrity using hashes, characterizes file formats, and performs malware scans.

Customizable Workflows

In addition to the default workflow, Labdrive allows functionality extensions via Python scripts, adapting to different metadata schemas, permissions, and storage structures.

Storage Management

The platform supports hot and cold storage, optimizing costs without compromising data integrity.

Fixity Verification

During ingestion and at regular intervals, automated integrity checks (checksum) are performed to ensure data has not been altered.

ISO 16363 Certification and OAIS Alignment

Labdrive is certified and aligned with the strictest digital preservation standards, ensuring data can be retrieved and reused without loss of integrity.

Reproducible Workflows (REANA)

Labdrive integrates with REANA, a reusable data analysis platform that allows researchers to execute complex workflows (defined in languages like CWL and Yadage) on both local and cloud infrastructures. This ensures analyses can be replicated and adjusted as needed.

Metadata Extraction

Labdrive enables automatic extraction of complete metadata and text, facilitating search, analysis, and management of stored data.

External Publication Management

The platform streamlines the workflow for publishing data on discovery platforms like Zenodo, Figshare, and DataCite, with the ability to generate and manage DOIs through integration with DataCite.

Security and Access

Labdrive provides advanced access controls, ensuring that published or shared data maintains appropriate levels of security and rights management.

Open and Customizable Structure

Labdrive does not impose a specific data model, allowing organizations to define their own metadata schemas and storage structure. This makes it an ideal platform for research projects handling diverse data types and complex organizational structures.

Support for Large Volumes of Data

The platform is designed to handle large volumes of scientific data (several petabytes), supporting massive data ingestion and horizontal scalability.

Integrity and Availability Assurance

Labdrive ensures the integrity and availability of clinical trial data, such as study results and patient records, for decades, which is essential for compliance with regulations from authorities like the FDA and EMA.

Traceability and Comprehensive Audits

Labdrive allows organizations to manage clinical documentation securely and with full traceability, adhering to standards like ALCOA+ (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate). Automated audits simplify preparation for regulatory inspections.

System Validation

Labdrive enables the management and validation of systems used in clinical trials and laboratories, complying with Good Clinical Practice (GxP, GLP, GMP, and GSP) regulations, facilitating reviews by regulatory bodies such as the FDA and MHRA.

Intellectual Property Protection

The platform safeguards data generated during clinical trials, including innovative treatments and gene therapies, ensuring that it remains protected from loss and acce
