Abstract: Currently, laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are designed to support the collectors, rather than the users, of data. Integration of data from one study to the next thus has to be performed retrospectively, through manual effort, and with costs to data quality. The alternative is prospective integration. This would require an ontology framework that can inform any LIMS and that can be used to define each study in a computable way from the very start.
