IRODS (Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System)

IRODS (Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System) is a data management platform designed to organize, access, and secure large volumes of information across diverse systems. It uses a flexible rule-based framework to automate data workflows, enforce policies, and ensure data consistency. Think of it as a smart library system for digital data: it helps institutions efficiently store, retrieve, and govern their data assets, regardless of where they are stored or how complex their architecture. This makes data more accessible, manageable, and protected in research, healthcare, or enterprise environments.
