About DataJoint¶
DataJoint is a framework for scientific data pipelines built on the Relational Workflow Model—a paradigm where your database schema is an executable specification of your workflow.
Unlike traditional databases that merely store data, DataJoint pipelines process data: tables represent workflow steps, foreign keys encode computational dependencies, and the schema itself defines what computations exist and how they relate. Combined with Object-Augmented Schemas for seamless large-data handling, DataJoint delivers reproducible, scalable scientific computing with full provenance tracking.
