20 Allotrope Data Format – Semantic Data Management in Life Sciences.pdf

Research intensive industries like the (bio-) pharmaceutical industry require a data architecture enabling universal laboratory data storage comprising describing metadata, ontologies and vocabularies, long-term data persistence,
