How to tie it all together?

A Research Object bundles and relates digital resources of a scientific experiment or investigation:

Data used and results produced in experimental study

Methods employed to produce and analyse that data

Provenance and settings for the experiments

People involved in the investigation

Annotations about these resources, to improve understanding and interpretation

Identifying intermediate data

Output 1B file is also Input 2C and Input 3D downstream

Simple filenames -> duplications

  ./data/step1/outputB.txt 
./data/step2/inputC.txt
./data/step3/inputD.txt

Content-adressable

SHA-256 hash of bytes as filename:

./data/51/51fb8af0c4ae0422fbe88340d91880ecb9d7537cf57339c1cf1256b7ca58f32d
