The Data Services Hub is the gateway to unlocking the full potential of data and digital resources within ERDERA.

Data Services Hub

At the heart of ERDERA’s mission is the creation of a collaborative, integrated Data Hub—a network of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data sources, analysis methods, knowledge bases, and computing tools. This network is not built in isolation: it is co-developed by ERDERA partners, ensuring that each resource gains value through interoperability and accessibility.

The DSH transforms how researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders access, share, analyze, and benefit from rare disease data—whether they are creating new resources or integrating existing ones.

Methods

Practical guidance and procedures to help data providers and researchers integrate their resources into the ERDERA Virtual Platform (VP) ecosystem.

Example: VP onboarding support to help you align your data with FAIR principles.

Tools

Ready-to-use technical components and specifications to facilitate data transformation and interoperability.

Example: FAIR-in-a-Box, Beacon2 API specifications—tools designed to streamline data preparation and sharing.

Services

A mix of human and technical support to help you apply DSH methods and tools effectively. 

  • Dedicated onboarding support for the VP
  • Interactive query services
  • Self-service resources: documentation, tutorials, and implementation packages

This study investigates possible measures that could be taken at EU level to address these challenges. It finds significant European added value in harmonising coordination and access across the 27 Member States, mainly in terms of improved diagnostic tools and availability of medical treatment, better health outcomes, particularly lower infant mortality, and improved well-being of family members and caregivers.
28 February, across Europe and beyond: one year into delivery, ERDERA is advancing towards shorten diagnostic journeys and improved therapies for people living with a rare disease.
This meeting will focus on practical approaches to phenotyping and diagnosis in undiagnosed conditions, including how to define next steps when a diagnosis remains uncertain, and how to strengthen pathways and collaboration around undiagnosed care.
In its first year, ERDERA has brought together 10 000 harmonised genomic and phenotypic datasets from unsolved rare disease cases across Europe, creating a secure, standardised and scalable resource.
