Content Tracking and Verification in Galaxy Workflows with ISCC-SUM

Abstract

File content and integrity validation with International Standard Content Code (ISCC)

About This Material

This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.

Questions this will address

  • What is an ISCC code and why is it useful for data management?
  • How can I generate content hashes for microscopy data in Galaxy?
  • How can I verify file integrity in my workflows?
  • How can I detect similar content across different files?

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the purpose and structure of ISCC codes
