This Working Group will review the NIST LIMS Roadmap, propose a LIMS schema and provide LIMS related checklists for research groups and organizations. In particular, this review will focus on extensibility and interoperability with more specific metadata schemas, such as REMBI, PIDINST, the NeXus data format (https://doi.org/10.1107/S1600576714027575), etc. The working group will identify other materials research workflows and metadata collection methods that will enable the documentation of research efforts in LIMS implementations. The results of this study will be made available to the materials community that could be updated by future working groups as additional resources become available.
