The Modern Research Data Portal: A Design Pattern for Networked, Data-Intensive Science

The Modern Research Data Portal (MRDP) is a design pattern for providing secure, scalable, and high performance access to research data. Learn about building portals that use the MRDP pattern by leveraging the Globus platform.

A technical article describes this design pattern, reviews representative examples at research laboratories and universities (see below), and uses coding examples to demonstrate how Globus APIs can be used to implement a range of research data portal capabilities.
