Introduction to FDSA

FDSA enables federated research on highly secured and sensitive datasets where the data use agreements prevent the data from being moved and/or prevent the data from being accessed directly.

Overview

FDSA Supports remote querying and the return of summary/analysis level data (Level 2).

How it Works

1. Data owner installs FDSA on premise and adds connectors to their dataset(s) 
2. Data owner adds their dataset meta data to ADWB FAIR  
3. ADWB End Users find the dataset in ADWB FAIR and put in a request for it. 
4. The Data Owner logs into FDSA and reviews and approves the ADWB End User Data Access Request(s) 
5. The ADWB End User logs into their ADWB Workspace, and from there, they can send federated queries to the FDSA and receives results.
