Exchanging Research Data with SampleDB

Abstract

Exchanging research data between systems is a vital task in research data management, especially in the context of collaborations. Therefore mapping data into standardized data descriptions and offering interfaces for efficient data exchange are required. The metadata database and electronic lab notebook SampleDB supports various ways of exporting data to other services, such as Dataverse, SciCat, and JupyterHub, as well as file exports in open formats. The concept of SampleDB federations allows data exchange in loosely coupled federations of SampleDB instances.
