Laboratory Acquisition Protocols and Standards
Current Status of Work: Using conventions from the STRABO vocabulary and lab specific requirements we outline which information is necessary in a 'system profile': a snapshot of features, hardware and data format that follows a given structure and a set of attributes. To maintain data integrity, profiles should be validated against a 'schema' and saved as json text files.
At this point the schema is still in an experimental stage. Also, there is currently no 'back-end' database where profile information is stored. It remains as json file only. Furthermore, technology issues on how data is being accessed (either using REST-API or GraphQL or otherwise) is being deferred to a later point. Ultimate goal is to establish a schema that is acceptable for the community and to possibly integrate it into Strabo or compatible system.
Proposed Laps Workflow
Experimental Schema: attributes following STRABO vocabulary, such as run conditions, sample information, equipment as well as a reference to acquired data are listed in an experimental json file. Machine specific profiles can be attached to the experimental profile as needed.
