Description
Research data management (RDM) in line with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles is increasingly recognized as an essential component of good scientific practice. In experimental disciplines, implementing FAIR RDM is particularly challenging: every step of the research process needs to be accurately documented, data must be securely stored and backed up, and sufficient metadata must be provided to ensure long-term reusability and reproducibility. An integrated Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) with data management capabilities can help researchers achieve these goals.
In close collaboration with scientists, the Scientific IT Services (SIS) of ETH Zürich have developed and operated such an integrated solution, openBIS, for more than 10 years.
This presentation will provide an overview of the openBIS software and its major features. We will show ETH Zurich openBIS use cases demonstrating how research lab data captured and managed with openBIS can be processed in a FAIR-compliant and reproducible way.
