Use case
The Spanish COVID-19 Data Portal, managed by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) facilitates access to resources, tools, and services for researchers using Spanish and European data infrastructures. Aligned with the European COVID-19 Data Portal, it supports data sharing and collaboration, providing guidelines and information to enhance research efforts related to COVID-19.
Problem addressed
One of the biggest challenges in the fast-moving COVID-19 situation is to share data and findings in a coordinated way in order to understand the disease and to develop treatments and vaccines. To address this challenge, partners operate the Spanish COVID-19 Data Portal, which brings together relevant datasets submitted to major repositories for biomedical data. The aim is to facilitate data sharing and analysis, and to accelerate coronavirus research.
Added value
Provides information, guidelines, tools and services to support researchers in utilising Spanish and European infrastructures for data sharing, particularly the European COVID‑19 Data Portal.
Includes information on scientific publications associated with SARS‑CoV‑2 and COVID‑19 by Spanish researchers, and statistics on the sequencing of viral and host samples available in European repositories.
Brings together and continuously updates relevant COVID‑19 datasets and tools.
