Package name: Portable ANalytical data Aggregation and Coordination for database Entry and Access (panacea)
This a proposal for the Infrastructure Steering Committee (ISC) of the R consortium. The proposed package panacea will make data streams in analytical laboratory settings more transparent and easily accessible. This is needed as closed sourced vendor-supplied software for analytical instruments often act as black boxes, thereby inhibiting access to raw data and full-disclosure of critical processing and transformations. Ultimately, panacea could help establish fully integrated laboratories with centralised data management. Hence this solution contributes to the FAIR[1] guiding principles for data, thereby stimulating innovation, and inclusiveness through open science.
