The AQUAEXCEL BioWes repository is a solution for management of experimental data and metadata and was designed to improve the reproducibility of experiments, standardization and cooperation between AQUAEXCEL partners. The solution consists of a server with a commercial database and two access points to the repository – web interface (web based) and protocol manager (local computer software). The repository provides the tools for storage and management of experimental data together with the description of the experiment in electronic form.
Key features of the repository:
- Electronic protocol

- Electronic protocol template - reusability
- Standardized terminology – connection to ATOL, EOL
- Experimental data as a black box – all types of data
- Information from devices (data sets)
- Link between data and metadata
- Protocol chain – chain of data processing steps
- Simple protocol sharing
- Data processing modules
- Data queries
