Who and what is driving demand for ELNs?● Researchers
– Utility and convenience of paper lab book + online capabilities – On multiple devices– File management/integration
● Groups/PIs– Controlled sharing– Collaboration– Group management– File management/integration
● Institutions: data librarians, research admins, IT, commercialisation offices– Enterprise features: Scalable deployment, Single Sign On– IP protection: audit trail, signing– File management/integration
● Funders Institutions– Publishing– Repository integration– Archiving
RSpace
● Conceived in response to Wisconsin RFP and trial 2011--12
● Developed with– Wisconsin (2012--13) – Edinburgh (2014)
Design principles● Easy data entry● Easy and flexible data structuring● Multiple ways of getting data out (and back in)

“My plan for workflow would be generally to
deposit my data in DataStore either from the
wet lab instruments (gel photos, elisa data, etc,
and also possibly directly from an iPad) or from
in silico data analysis I’ve been doing, and then
link to it from within RSpace.”
