Analysis Plane
The Analysis Plane is the logical layer where queries and analyses are initiated within a federated Trusted Research Environment (TRE). This plane serves as the primary interface for researchers and analysts to interact with the federated system.
Overview
The Analysis Plane represents the user-facing layer of the Trellis framework, providing the tools, interfaces, and capabilities necessary for researchers to formulate, submit, and manage their analytical queries across federated data sources.
