Hello, TIDAL (ciTIzen-centric DAta pLatform)!

Start Date: 17-05-2020 Update Date: 13-06-2020

Editor: Chang Sun

Abstract: This repository shows how to build a SOLID application to fetch/create/modify data in your SOLID Pod, start a data request (for research), and participate in researchers' data request. This is my first SOLID application built in a very limited time. I will learn from others and improve it step by step. Welcome to contact me if you have any questions :)

To know more about the development of TIDAL, you can read our publication ciTIzen-centric DAta pLatform (TIDAL): Sharing Distributed Personal Data in a Privacy-Preserving Manner for Health Research

To quickly view what TIDAL can do, you are welcome to watch this intro video
