Why SPARC?

SPARC is a versatile and collaborative platform designed to support researchers working with multi-modal datasets, from gigabytes to terabytes in size.

SPARC has high-standards for publishing on the Portal, and our professional Curation team guides investigators through the process, resulting in a well-structured dataset or model with its own landing page, DOI, and associated protocols. Products published on the Portal are highlighted with a number of other features that aid understandability of both the experiment and the dataset or model. This arms visitors with information to help them determine if they wish to use it or even pursue a collaboration. Moreover, this high-quality, structured format, with rich associated metadata and protocols aid artificial intelligence (AI) readiness.
