Date: 2024-04-09

With the proliferation of digital data, reliable storage, easy accessibility, and long-term preservation have become paramount. Onedata, a novel platform, emerges as a solution for these challenges by enabling a distributed repository framework for virtualizing data. This presentation delves into how Onedata facilitates seamless data management and ensures long-term preservation. By virtualizing data, Onedata abstracts the underlying storage infrastructures enabling a unified view and easy sharing among different stakeholders. Furthermore, its distributed repository nature significantly enhances data durability and availability. The in-built mechanisms for metadata management and data replication ensure that the information remains intact and accessible over extended periods. Through a detailed exploration of its architecture and functionalities, this presentation will highlight how Onedata can be a robust platform for modern data management and long-term preservation needs, catering to academia, industry, and beyond. The insights provided will foster a better understanding of leveraging distributed repository platforms in navigating the complex landscape of digital data preservation.
