A Data Science’s Perspective of the Use of Containers: Use Cases from Bioinformatics to Digital Humanities Projects

  • Martial Sankar (SIB)

Description

We have used containers to address the following issues:
- the integration of various libraries and framework with complicated setup
- the rise of reproducibility issues in scientific studies
- the need for data interoperability and safety
Containers are versatile tools that could offer suitable solutions to address such data science issues. Through a series of use cases ranging from life science to digital humanities projects, we illustrate how we took advantage of the flexibility of containers to deliver innovative products to our users.
