## 6.1 Cohorts
Cohort is a study that collects data and/or bio-samples from a group of participants (e.g. longitudinal case-control or family studies). A cohort is linked to the creation of data and is considered its ultimate source.
In order to effectively handle data subjects' requests, as per GDPR, it is crucial that an institution keeps track of what data it keeps from which cohorts. Inline with this, DAISY allows maintaining a list of *Cohorts* and link *Datasets* to *Cohorts*.
