It brings together heterogeneous biological and environmental datasets from across the BER ecosystem into a single, governed, AI-ready infrastructure. - ---- - -## Mission - -K-BERDL exists to accelerate scientific discovery by making BER data more accessible, interoperable, and actionable. The platform is designed to: - -- Break down data silos across BER programs -- Provide a shared, scalable analytics infrastructure -- Enable AI-assisted discovery across national datasets -- Ensure data is FAIR — Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable - ---- - -## Background - -DOE BER programs collectively generate some of the world's most valuable biological and environmental datasets — spanning genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, environmental observations, and more. Historically, these datasets have been managed independently by individual programs, limiting cross-program discovery and integration. - -K-BERDL addresses this challenge by providing a unified platform where BER programs can publish, govern, and share their data while retaining full stewardship and control. - ---- - -## Key BER Programs - -K-BERDL serves or is onboarding the following BER programs as tenants: - -| Program | Description | -|---|---| -| **KBase** | Narrative-driven computational biology and workflow execution | -| **JGI** | Genomics and metagenomics data from the Joint Genome Institute | -| **NMDC** | National Microbiome Data Collaborative metadata and workflows | -| **EMSL** | Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory multi-omics data | -| **ESS-DIVE** | Environmental Systems Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem | -| **ARM** | Atmospheric Radiation Measurement climate research data | - ---- - -## Platform Principles - -- **Open standards** — Built on Delta Lake, Apache Parquet, and Apache Atlas -- **Tenant autonomy** — Each program retains stewardship over its own data -- **Reproducible science** — Full data lineage and provenance tracking -- **AI-native** — Designed from the ground up to support AI agents and automated workflows -- **Scalable** — Supports KBase's 50,000+ user community and beyond - ---- - -## Contact & Access - -To request access or onboard your BER program as a tenant, contact the K-BERDL platform team. - -- **Documentation:** [https://gazimahmud.github.io/kberdl-docs/](https://gazimahmud.github.io/kberdl-docs/) -- **GitHub:** [https://github.com/gazimahmud/kberdl-docs](https://github.com/gazimahmud/kberdl-docs) diff --git a/mkdocs.yml b/mkdocs.yml index 577350a..c609fa6 100644 --- a/mkdocs.yml +++ b/mkdocs.yml @@ -44,9 +44,7 @@ extra_css: # Navigation nav: - - - About K-BERDL: about.md - + - About K-BERDL: index.md - Architecture: - K-BERDL Architecture: architecture.md - Onboarding Guide: onboarding-guide.md diff --git a/zensical.toml b/zensical.toml index 50e269d..4dd8f4a 100644 --- a/zensical.toml +++ b/zensical.toml @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ toggle.icon = "material/weather-sunny" toggle.name = "Switch to light mode" nav = [ - { "About K-BERDL" = "about.md" }, + { "About K-BERDL" = "index.md" }, { "Architecture" = [ { "K-BERDL Architecture" = "architecture.md" }, { "Onboarding Guide" = "onboarding-guide.md" },
