Getting Started with Publisher

Publisher enables organizations to make file and table data available through GA4GH APIs. The system serves two distinct user types:

  • Administrators: Use to connect data sources, organize data into Collections, and implement access policies

  • Data Consumers: Access Collection data through -compliant software, such as for interactive data discovery and analysis, or the for programmatic analysis

This documentation is intended for Publisher Administrators.
