Local EGA version 1.1

This is the first release of Local EGA software, an extension for the European Genome-Phenome archive (EGA), which enables storing datasets locally while making it discoverable in the EGA dataset catalog. This version supports:

• Ingestion of files to Local EGA and communication to Central EGA about the archived files,
• Integrity check and re-encryption of the ingested files (using industry-standard algorithms),
• Access to archived files using htsget streaming protocol and http(s) downloads (EGA Data API),
• Authorising the data use using OAuth2 access tokens from ELIXIR AAI and EGA.

These core functionalities were demonstrated in a Sprint Review meeting on 12 April 2018. The code is split in several repositories:

• Main repository for Local EGA implementation (this repository)
• PAM module for user authentication
• Encryption tool for end-users submission
• EGA Data API for accessing archived datasets
