Abstract

A data commons brings together (or co-locates) data with cloud computing infrastructure and commonly used software services, tools and applications for managing, analyzing and sharing data to create an interoperable resource for a research community. We introduce an architectural design principle for data commons called the narrow middle architecture that is broadly based upon the end-to-end argument in systems design. We also discuss important core services for data commons and the role of standards.
