Empa's Coating Technologies (CT) group excels in developing coatings and thin films for diverse applications. Our research focuses on advancing thin films through combinatorial techniques, yielding extensive datasets. However, many published datasets lack precise metadata. This project aims to automate metadata creation by developing software that interfaces with OpenBIS to record crucial parameters from deposition and measurement tools. Raw data will be stored on LAN servers, with standardized file structures. Software tools will enable data analysis (e.g., CombIgor) to access metadata and measurements. High-quality datasets in an open format can be used internally and published in open repositories like NOMAD or Zenodo. This solution benefits labs working on thin film deposition, with growing demand from partner organizations.
