Clowder is a cloud native data management framework to support any research domain. Clowder was developed to help researchers and scientists in data intensive domains manage raw data, complex metadata, and automatic data pipelines.
Clowder is not a central system, but software that research labs and individual users can install on local clusters or in the cloud. Clowder is data agnostic, but can be customized for specific data types through a sophisticated information extraction bus and web based visualization plugins.
Clowder is also a community of practitioners working on data intensive research projects and developing tools that work across research domains.
