Public documentation about IMaRS data.

Documents in the ./docs directory here are in markdown format and provide information about how data is organized at IMaRS.

If you have a question about IMaRS data or want to make your data more available please open an issue in this repo's github issue tracker.

IMaRS researchers can access data in the \\yin\lab_share\datashare\ folder from windows or /srv/imars-objects/homes/datashare on linux. These directories are managed with puppet by profile::imars_datashare_homelinks.

A basic overview of the directories there:

• regions : datasets bounded by a "region". Regions are defined on a per-project basis. For more information consult the imars_product_metadata database managed with puppet by role::product_metadata_rows.sql
• mirrored : datasets copied directly from another source
• legacy : older datasets not comforming to current organizational standards
• ingests : staging locations for incoming data
• custom : other datasets not fitting any of the above
