Understanding the research process: workflows
• UK JISC-funded activity
• Project StORe: Source-to-Output Repositories (Edinburgh)
• RepoMMan: Repository Metadata and Management (Hull)
– Primary data : research publications
– Survey questionnaire, activity diagrams

Produce strategy for synthesis (=idea)
Submit plan to SmartTea system (incl. identifiers)
Retrieve and follow instructions (sub-workflow?)
Experimental synthesis metadata automatically recorded on instruments
(Smart Lab)
Create record for synthesised sample (+ proposed chemical identifier) in
R4L laboratory data management system
Run spectral analyses on sample capturing further analysis metadata
(incl. time-stamp, analysis software version, researcher details etc.)
Save spectrum in native and common formats
Invoke R4L data capture service and deposit files + metadata in
laboratory repository…

Adding value: repository services
• Tools: for deposit, normalisation,
manipulation, transformation…..
• Linking, annotation, visualisation
• Aggregators: generic, (sub-)
disciplinary
Knowledge extraction:
• Mining (data, text, structures)
• Modelling (economic, climate,
mathematical, biological…)
• Analysis (statistical, lexical, gene….)
Adding value: eBank linking data to
publications
New forms of
publication:
integration
of data and
journals

Linking research to learning - embedding
eBank aggregator service in a science portal
for student learners
• MChem course
• Assess role in
Undergraduate Chemical
Informatics courses
• Pedagogic evaluation
• Report to be published.
