Overview
The Challenge
Dutch life science research infrastructures each manage their data in isolation. Bioimaging platforms, omics pipelines, and environmental monitoring systems have evolved independently, making cross-domain data discovery and reuse far harder than it needs to be.
"OMERO cannot store omics data, such as those generated in UNLOCK and vice versa"
FAMENL addresses this by building FAIR metadata management layers that bridge domain-specific platforms with generic storage solutions. Using the ISA standard, FAIRDOM-SEEK, and RO-Crate packaging, the project delivers simple, tabular metadata templates that empower researchers to produce standards-compliant data without requiring deep technical expertise.
