The German Human Genome-Phenome Archive (GHGA) is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) within the framework of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI).
The main goal of GHGA is to address the needs for establishing a national genome archive for human genome data while tackling challenges in data access, sharing, and privacy. GHGA aims to provide a national infrastructure for secure and safe storage,access management, dissemination, and analysis of human omics data under a coherent ethical-legal framework.
This repository aims to serve as the source of truth for the metadata schema used by the German Human Genome-Phenome Archive.
The schema is modeled using LinkML and exists as a YAML, which can be
found in src/schema/
. Detailed information about ghga-metadata-schema is available on our user documentation.
