title: DataLad
description: 'DataLad is a Python-based tool for the joint management of code, data,
and their relationship, built on top of a versatile system for data logistics (git-annex)
and the most popular distributed version control system (Git). It adapts principles
of open-source software development and distribution to address the technical challenges
of data management, data sharing, and digital provenance collection across the life
cycle of digital objects.
DataLad aims to make data management as easy as managing code. It streamlines procedures
to consume, publish, and update data, for data of any size or type, and to link
them as precisely versioned, lightweight dependencies. DataLad helps to make science
more reproducible and FAIR. It can capture complete and actionable process provenance
of data transformations to enable automatic re-computation. The DataLad project
(datalad.org) delivers a completely open, pioneering platform for flexible decentralized
research data management (RDM). It features a Python and a command-line interface
as well as a dedicated graphical user interface, an extensible architecture, and
does not depend on any centralized services but facilitates interoperability with
a plurality of existing tools and services. In order to maximize its utility and
target audience, DataLad is available for all major operating systems, and can be
integrated into established workflows and environments with minimal friction.'
