Key capabilities

Create an immutable record of every result

All computational work is tracked in Git, creating an immutable record of all work done and the results produced. Click into any Result to access and view key details at a glance.

immutable-record-of-results-2

See and explore full result provenance

Gain access to the entire story of how your Result was produced—enter any node and get to the exact version and Git commit of a Capsule or Pipeline that generated every single result.

Assess reproducibility for all Result Data

The Lineage Graph assesses the reproducibility of any given Result. Reproducibility can be guaranteed when Capsules and Pipelines are versioned, and when Data are kept internally on the platform.

How the Lineage Graph works with the rest of the Code Ocean platform

Capsules Colour@8x Track computational work done in Compute Capsules

Compute Capsules record all computational work performed within them. Results generated are automatically recorded, along with the input Data used to create them.

 Capsules
CapsulesGB
Pipeline Colour@8x Track the output of bioinformatics pipelines

Pipelines can incorporate output from multiple different Compute Capsules, Data sources, and other Pipelines. This is all tracked by the Lineage Graph.

Data Colour@8x Track source data used in the generation of results

Code Ocean tracks all Data used in computational work. Data and Results can be accessed through the Data dashboard, allowing you to keep track of what data was used where and when.

Frequently asked questions

Lineage Colour@8xLineage Graph

Can you always guarantee reproducibility?

Yes, if all source data has been imported and made immutable. If you’ve used an external data source that is subject to change, reproducibility cannot be guaranteed.

Can you click into each node to see details?

Yes. You can interact with every node on the Lineage Graph. Click on any asset that you have access to and explore the full details of which version was run, when it was run, and who by.

Can we use this to connect to an external lineage tool?

Yes, using our API, you could connect to your own instance of an open-source tool, e.g. OpenLineage.
