[https://www.irods.org/index.php/IRODS:Data_Grids,_Digital_Libraries,_Persistent_Archives,_and_Real-time_Data_Systems iRODS] software was designed to allow curators utilising heterogeneous storage and computing facilities to define policies without being concerned with the technical detail of how the system implements those policies and without having to respond to changes in technical infrastructure. It was built as a successor to the [http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/external/srb DICE Storage Resource Broker (SRB)], which provides a unified interface for dealing with data in disparate locations. While SRB provides global, logical mappings to the digital entities registered in a shared collection, iRODS takes this further, adding the capacity to create unified administrative policies and processes, which act across all data sources. The system creates a virtual collection, allowing the user to interact with their stored data without needing to keep track of, or even have ultimate control over, the storage and computing facilities hosting the information. | [https://www.irods.org/index.php/IRODS:Data_Grids,_Digital_Libraries,_Persistent_Archives,_and_Real-time_Data_Systems iRODS] software was designed to allow curators utilising heterogeneous storage and computing facilities to define policies without being concerned with the technical detail of how the system implements those policies and without having to respond to changes in technical infrastructure.
