LinkAhead assists small research groups to work together on shared research data sets, or is scaled to whole research institutes. A sophisticated rights management provides data sovereignity even for large numbers of users. Since LinkAhead only saves metadata and references to the original research data in the system, it easily scales to millions of entries and doesn’t care about the size of the source data. LinkAhead is an additive system that allows you to start small and grow with your research data and team.
