ORSO (Online Resource for Social Omics): A data-driven social network connecting scientists to genomics datasets
Fig 1
Overview of the ORSO framework.
ORSO constructs a data-driven network based on social interactions and identified similarities between datasets. (1) Both validated public data and user-submitted data are hosted by ORSO. (2) Metadata and primary read coverage values are used to construct a data network, where connections represent similarities between datasets. (3) Based on data similarities, individual datasets are recommended to a user based on that user’s interests. (4) User interests are gauged by social interactions with datasets, such as favoriting and following. These interactions are in turn used to connect datasets in the network and impact the data recommended to other users.
