This road map is the outcome of the collaboration between Stuart Wheater, Demetris Avraam, Paul Burton, Alex Westerberg, Leire Abbarategui, Olly Butters, Becca Wilson and Patricia Ryser-Welch. It shows planned development and timeline of DataSHIELD architecture and functionalities.
We have included satellite activities to demonstrates our commitments to the sustainability of the project as well as our commitments to develop further DataSHIELD as a community of developers, analysts and data scientists. Â
