Mapping hierarchical file structures to semantic data models for efficient data integration into research data management systems
In this 2024 article published in the journal Data, tom Wörden et al. describe their approach to simultaneously using relational database systems with with more semantically driven research data management systems (RDMS) while largely keeping the two in synch. The authors use the open-source RDMS LinkAhead and its associated crawler, as well as YAML for synchronization and data mapping. They describe their approach in detail, noting the importance of "identifiables," which they define as "a set of properties that is taken from the file system layout or the file contents, which allow for uniquely identifying the corresponding object in the RDMS." After a brief discussion of their results and the limitations of their approach, they conclude that the practicality of their approach has been demonstrated, with the potential to transfer "the concept to multiple different use cases in order to make the crawler more robust" across a broader spectrum of scientific research settings.

Why Choosing an Expert LIMS Implementation Partner is a Smart Decision
A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is a centralized platform that enables you to store and manage all essential lab data and results in one place. It supports sample tracking, inventory management, instrument integration, workflow optimization, report generation, and compliance with regulatory requirements. One key factor in the success of a LIMS project is choosing the right LIMS Implementation Partner to help with setup, training and support. [Read More]
The precursor to LIMS data analytics is structured data
Questions abound about our health and the environment. Laboratories are uniquely positioned to possess the answers. Your laboratory’s biggest, most valuable asset may very well be its data. Properly collated and analyzed, data can lead to insight, knowledge, even power. To find those answers and ultimately unlock the value of the data you hold, your laboratory needs strong data analytics capabilities. [Read More]
LIMS in the Medical Cannabis Industry PART 2
The medical cannabis industry has experienced significant growth worldwide. With this growth comes the need for robust and efficient systems to manage the complex processes involved in cannabis cultivation, processing, and distribution. Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) play a crucial role. In Part 1, we explored the key features of a LIMS in the medical cannabis industry and how QLIMS conforms to TGO 93 Standards. In Part 2, we’re diving into how QLIMS supports the medicinal cannabis process. [Read More]

Using OpenBIS as a virtual research environment: An ELN-LIMS open-source database tool as a framework within the CRC 1411 Design of Particulate Products
As the ramifications of the FAIR data principles of Wilkinson et al. continue to shape how academic (and industrial) research is performed, it's inevitable that the information management systems used in these research contexts will be scrutinized under those same FAIR data principles. In this case, Plass et al. of FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg describe how they landed upon the open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) and laboratory information management system (LIMS) solution openBIS to address FAIR data management in their multidisciplinary Collaborative Research Centre (CRC). After discussing the current state of research data management (RDM), the authors go into the specifics of their implementation of openBIS, the adjustments they made to the system to address their information management needs, and the experiences they had using the modified system. They ultimately conclude that "this ELN-LIMS could serve as a template solution for other similarly structured collaborative research centers or research groups" given the benefits they saw with their modified version.
