The ELN Consortium

Electronic Lab-Notebooks (ELN) are a central database structure in research, academia and industry.

Goals

Define common specifications that allow the interchange of data and metadata between different ELNs. Items of interest are:

• exchange file formats
• common question schemata
• etc.

While we support open-software, we also acknowledge the proprietary solutions in the market. We invite all producers of ELN solutions to participate.

We work towards an inclusive community.
