Adopt a painless data management system for your project.
SeedMeLab is a scientific data management framework for teams struggling with intractable data. Unlike file sharing services, SeedMeLab transforms data management by enabling integration of data, its context, its discussion, data visualization and discovery in one spot with full ownership, access control and your brand. SeedMeLab is available as a managed service from SDSC and as Open Source software.
