Data Upload module
The Data Upload module helps researches to upload their data to the data repository. The data should be uploaded in the form of a submission package (XML) that has a unique identifier - a submission ticket (XML).
If you don't have a submission package ready, use the Data Validation module to create it. The module will also validate your data and make sure that they conform to the required format and range values defined in the Data Dictionary.
If you need to submit imaging data to the repository,
- Use the Imaging data submission and validation module to create the imaging submission set.
- Use the Data Validation module to re-validate the data and create a submission ticket and submission package.
