DataJoint Core
DataJoint Core is an open-source toolkit for defining and operating computational data pipelines (i.e., sequences of steps for data acquisition, processing, and transformation).
Pipelines built in DataJoint Core offer:
- Efficient design with intuitive queries
- Automated, reproducible computation with full referential integrity
- Coordination of multiple human and computer workers
- Flexibility to adapt and change
DataJoint Core includes libraries for Python and MATLAB, a REST API, and GUI tools for data entry and visualizations.
Design. DataJoint Core enables clear conceptual modeling, efficient schema design, and flexible queries. It provides an intuitive query language that makes good design practices more obvious, and bad design choices harder or impossible.
Computation. DataJoint Core delivers automated, reproducible computation to support the needs of contexts like scientific research. It integrates computation with data architecture, extending the traditional relational database model. DataJoint maintains referential integrity as data is transformed and synthesized in a computational pipeline.
Coordination. DataJoint Core enables researchers and computational agents to work in parallel, collecting, uploading, processing, and analyzing data. It takes care of integrity and traceability—no prior database experience required.
Flexibility. DataJoint Core makes it easy to prototype, adapt, and evolve computational pipelines. It enables scientists to add, update, or remove data acquisition or analysis methods at any time, and to track and compare analyses performed using different parameters, algorithms, or methodologies.
