NO ACCOUNT. NO GIT. NO UPLOAD.

Create a research workspace.

Describe your project once. Get an organized folder, readable guidance, and structured metadata that stay under your control.

Everything you enter is processed in this page. Nothing is sent to an ORW service. The downloaded ZIP contains metadata and empty research folders—not your data.

01 / DESCRIBE

Your project

Fields are required unless marked optional. Do not enter passwords, access tokens, participant identifiers, or confidential clinical information.

Project & people

Project title

The overall research project, called an Investigation in the ISA model.

Short description

Your name

ORCID optional

Format check only; identity is not verified.

Study & measurements

First study title

One study or research design within the project.

First measurement or test optional

An Assay in ISA. Leave blank when no measurement is applicable; no artificial Assay will be created.

Data & access

Where will the authoritative data live?

A high-level location is enough. This builder does not connect to or copy those data.

Data access

Private by default. This records access; it does not grant permissions.

Keywords optional

Separate keywords with commas.

Inspect the canonical metadata

No installation is needed to create or open the workspace. You choose where to keep it.

A starting workspace, not a hosted service

This version creates one project and one study, with an optional measurement. It does not upload data, manage collaborators, edit an existing workspace, or issue a DOI.

RO-Crate export is available in the ORW CLI. Browser RO-Crate download and guided metadata editing remain planned.
