About RDLs

Research Data Lakes – “RDLs” – are the backbone of our products and research. RDLs are fully scalable, cloud-based data centralization and transformation tools.

An RDL pulls existing, unstructured data from multiple sources and pools it into a single “lake” for analysis. For example, siloed data from workforce development, education, and health, and departments can be brought together to power more robust, holistic analyses that inform public policy and programs.

The entire process is automated, eliminating the need for lengthy and expensive inter-departmental data gathering. These secure, research-ready environments can feed APIs to produce data visualization, predictive modeling, AI-powered interventions, and causal analysis tools.

Additionally, our RDLs are FedRAMP-secure, modular, and open source. RIPL provides the tools and expertise, but our partners maintain full ownership of their RDLs. Partners retain full control over their data, with automated logging and auditing to provide complete transparency into its use.
