ELNdataBridge

Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) have become indispensable tools for modern research laboratories, facilitating data management, collaboration, and documentation of scientific experiments. However, the proliferation of diverse ELN platforms poses challenges for researchers who need to seamlessly exchange data between different systems. In this paper, we present ELNdataBridge, a novel server-based solution designed to address this challenge by providing a flexible adapter for interfacing and synchronising data between disparate ELN platforms. ELNdataBridge leverages Python APIs to interact with the underlying data structures of various ELN systems, enabling smooth transfer of information between them. The system offers a user-friendly interface that allows researchers to map and configure the transfer of single values and entry types between different ELNs, thereby facilitating interoperability and data exchange.
