 The Commons

The Commons is intended to facilitate access and catalyze the sharing, use, reuse, interoperability, and discoverability of shared digital research objects. It is a shared and interoperable computing environment intended to take advantage of emergent public and private cloud computing platforms and existing high performance computing (HPC) resources. The NIH is currently implementing a number of Commons pilots to develop, test, and use each element of the Commons individually and in concert. The results of these pilot efforts will provide a basis for widespread application of the Commons.
