IUTA Workshop: Data Standard meets Communication Standard

Tuesday, 11. November 2025 in Duisburg

Communication and data standards for laboratory and analytical applications are two sides of the same coin: communication standards capture live data generated during experiments and result creation, while data standards document the results along with critical context—such as who conducted the experiment, when, with what materials, and using which methods. Ideally, both should be built on shared definitions of entities and information elements. For the first time, the combination of OPC UA LADS and Allotrope Foundation framework enables seamless integration between communication and documented data. Ontologies like the Allotrope Foundation Ontology (AFO) provide the conceptual foundation necessary to achieve true FAIR data across laboratory environments.
