-> Opal is [OBiBa](https://www.obiba.org/)’s core database application for epidemiological studies. Participant data, collected by questionnaires, medical instruments, sensors, administrative databases etc. can be integrated and stored in a central data repository under a uniform model. Opal is a web application that can import, process, copy data and has advanced features for cataloging the data (fully described, annotated and searchable data dictionaries) as recommended by the [Maelstrom Research](https://www.maelstrom-research.org/) group at McGill University, Canada. Opal is typically used by a research center to analyze the data acquired from assessment centres. Its ultimate purpose is to achieve seamless data-sharing among epidemiological studies. Opal is the reference implementation of the [DataSHIELD](https://www.datashield.org/) infrastructure. More information on Opal can be found in the [Opal description on OBiBa](https://www.obiba.org/pages/products/opal/).
