BW-eLabs
Research Data Management in the Lab - Open Repositories 20104
BW-eLabs gives access to virtual and remote experiments in the field
of nano technology and digital holography.
Key concepts include:
� reproducability of experiments
� discoverability of and access to primary data
� storage and curation of all artifacts that emerge throughout the
research process
The project is funded for 2 ½ years by the Ministry of Science,
Research, and Art, Baden-Württemberg

Next Steps
� Roll out the software at Institute of Applied Optics
� Replace Javascript-based prototype of eLab Solution with Java-
based production version (Vaadin)
� (Semi-) automatically create semantic relationships between objects
(e.g., measured spectrum with instrument and calibration)
� Add (numeric) search for data (unit-aware)
� Add data publication component
