From ELNs to Intelligent Data Ecosystem: Leveraging Ontology for Scientific Data Management
The world is becoming more digitized every day. The life sciences industry has embraced this revolution and embarked on digital transformation. One example is new strides in digitizing R&D lab workflows with Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) – capturing experimental data, improving traceability (lack of which can be detrimental for governance), automating audit trails, and supporting compliance. Despite all the advantages of ELNs, interoperability and large-scale data reuse remain a major challenge in most life science organizations.
This article explores how integrating ontologies with ELNs provides the much-needed semantic harmonization to transform fragmented data into actionable insights. It also outlines the evolving vendor landscape and some key capabilities that should be pursued when building a future-ready Next Generation data strategy.
