Term	Description
Datasets	Data uploaded by users for subsequent analysis via Runs.
Workflow	A series of computational steps or processes designed to analyse Datasets in a standardised and reproducible manner.
Runs	A run of a Workflow on a specified Dataset, producing a defined set of outputs.
Cohorts	Cohorts enables the exploration of biological cohort data within the platform.
Jupyter Notebook	An isolated and persistent compute environment for running exploratory analysis. Refer to the official documentation for more information.
Keycloak	An open-source security software tool that manages identities and access controls for applications and services. It enables single sign-on, which allows users to access multiple applications with one set of credentials, and provides features like two-factor authentication, social login, and identity brokering to enhance security. Refer to the official documentation for more information.
Nextflow	Nextflow is a powerful workflow management system designed for computational workflows, particularly in the fields of bioinformatics, genomics, and computational biology. It allows scientists and developers to write, deploy, and share data-intensive computational workflows efficiently and reproducibly. Refer to the official documentation for more information.
DRS	The Data Repository Service (DRS) is a GA4GH specification that defines a standardised set of data access methods that are agnostic to cloud infrastructure and allows for data access regardless of storage location or how the data is managed.
TRS	The Tool Registry Service (TRS) is a GA4GH specification that allows for the exchange and discovery of tools and workflows that analyse, read, and manipulate genomic data whilst also ensuring interoperability of tools and workflows.
