elabFTW as one building block of our FAIR data exchange — •Sebastian T. Weber, Eva Walther, Martin Aeschlimann, Bärbel Rethfeld, and Georg von Freymann — Department of Physics and Research Center OPTIMAS, RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau

The basis of a FAIR data management is a well-described and detailed documentation of every single step of the experiment and data analysis. In recent decades, however, the focus has shifted from analog measuring instruments and analytical calculations to computer-based experiments and simulations. This has lead to a large increase in the numbers of measurements and observed quantities and therefore in the amount of data generated.

We use electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) to store, index, search and retrieve a large amount of entries within our collaborative research center CCR/TRR173 Spin+X. Here, it is particularly challenging to exchange data between scientists with different background and location. In this presentation, we introduce our ELN ‘elabFTW‘ and give insight into our journey of establishing a joint electronic lab notebook as well as harmonizing the exchanged meta(data) to foster collaboration within our research center. We report on our experiences in the daily work of the scientists and our progress of a new infrastructure project.
