Tablion Data Portal

Tablion is a data request portal that provides users with a streamlined and secure way to request data from data owners. By transforming the data catalogue into a click-and-collect data shopping cart, users can easily browse the available data and instantly connect with data owners to request the needed data.

The fast click-and-collect data shopping basket:

Tablion makes submitting a data request as easy as click-and-collect shopping, so users can build a basket of variables ready for review, all with a few simple clicks.

• Build a shopping basket of data variables: Build a basket of data variables, complete request questions and send applications to data stewards ready for review - all with a few simple clicks.

• Improve confidence in data: Reduce questions by giving users metadata that makes it easy for them to understand data before accessing it.

• Define identity controls to reduce identity burden: Issue users with a reusable proof of identity and data skills, so they only need to provide their credentials once - and future requests are authorised faster.

Different roles that users of Tablion can play:

• Administrator: An administrator user is an individual or group responsible for managing the Tablion system and its associated functionalities. The administrator has the authority to manage the datasets available for request through the platform, customise the Tablion system according to the organisation's needs, and manage the user accounts and permissions within the system. The administrator's responsibilities also include monitoring the quality of the data available in the system, ensuring the security and privacy of the registry data, and defining the standards.

• Data request Approver: The data request approver is an individual or group responsible for reviewing data requests and ensuring that all requirements for data access are met. Additionally, the data request approver must ensure that the researcher meets all requirements for accessing the requested data, such as meeting ethical or legal guidelines. If the researcher meets all requirements, the data request approver will onboard the researcher and provide them access to the requested data.

• Data passport Approver: The data passport approver is an individual or group responsible for reviewing and approving data passport requests from researchers. The approver's primary responsibility is to verify the details provided by the researcher in their data passport. This involves ensuring that the researcher has provided accurate and complete information, including their identity and any ethical or legal considerations that may be relevant.

• Researcher: A researcher is an individual or group seeking data from an organisation to conduct research. To access the data, the researcher must have a valid data passport, which verifies the identity and purpose of the data request. Using the data catalogue, the researcher can browse available variables and add them to their shopping cart. Once the cart is complete, the researcher submits a data request for approval by the data request approver. If the data request meets all requirements and is approved, the researcher and granted access to the requested data for their stated research purpose. The role of the researcher is critical in ensuring the quality and integrity of the data is maintained and that it is accessed and used in a secure and controlled manner.
