The Resilience Hub
The Resilience Hub
The Resilience Hub is CropXR's central data infrastructure. It provides researchers and breeders with a unified ecosystem for managing, discovering, sharing, and governing research data responsibly.
By connecting data, tools, documentation, and expertise, the Resilience Hub supports efficient collaboration across the CropXR community.
The platform is built around FAIR data principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
What the Resilience Hub Provides
- A central location for data management, storage, metadata registration, collaboration, and guidance.
- Integrated tools that support the full research data lifecycle, from planning and documentation to storage and discovery.
- A connected environment where researchers can collaborate while maintaining responsible data stewardship.
Platform Components
- Machine Learning Hub: Track machine learning experiments, evaluate models, and tune hyperparameters.
- Data Catalogue: Register datasets, manage metadata, connect datasets to storage locations, and discover data across CropXR projects.
- S3 Cloud Storage: Secure cloud storage for research datasets with controlled access and download capabilities.
- MetaBuddy: AI-assisted metadata management that helps generate metadata from uploaded documents while keeping researchers in control of their data.
Built on FAIR Principles
- Findable: Datasets can be discovered through rich metadata and the Data Catalogue.
- Accessible: Researchers can securely access and share data according to permissions and governance requirements.
- Interoperable: Data is managed using standards that support integration across systems and research domains.
- Reusable: Well-described datasets and metadata maximize long-term scientific value and reuse.
SURF and ResilienceHub
SURF is the collaborative ICT organization for Dutch education and research institutions. Through shared digital infrastructure and services, SURF enables researchers and educators to collaborate securely and efficiently across institutional and national boundaries.
One of SURF's key services is Research Drive, a secure cloud-based platform for storing, managing, synchronizing, and sharing research data. The service is designed specifically for research projects and supports collaboration with both internal and external partners.
Research Drive provides scalable storage, controlled access management, secure authentication, and compliance with Dutch and European regulations. By offering a trusted environment for active research data, it helps researchers meet data management requirements while supporting open and collaborative science.
