1. Lowering the Barrier to Data Entry -- Experiences with ISA-TAB-Nano and isatools Damaris Murry Nanomaterial Registry, Center for Aerosol and Nanomaterial Engineering (CANE)

2. Curation in the Nanomaterial Registry Task 1: Defining Data Structure & Process for Data Collection

3. Curation in the Nanomaterial Registry Task 2: Building Infrastructure & Data Entry Tool

4. History of Curation Tool Balancing Curation Timeline, Data Quality, and User Interface Easy to implement, difficult to maintain Easy to maintain, data migration issues Smart data entry, software in progress Workflow management, UI in progress custom curation tool

5. formatting standard ISA-Tab-Nano Why isatools? “ Smart” Data Entry vocabulary standard NPO Minimal Information Standard Nanomaterial Registry

6. Step 1: Mapping to ISA-Tab-Nano

7. Step 2: Writing Configuation

8. Step 3: Data Entry

9. Step 4: Migration to Database & SME Review

10. Final Step: Data Display

11. Highlights and Challenges of Working with isaTools a work in progress

12. Working with manually created files Mapping to the Nanomaterial Registry configuration file For batch files not created with our NR configuration (ex. NBI), we did a mapping of the Excel file structure to the Nanomaterial Registry configuration file

13. Complex Experimental Designs Endpoint Associations & Summarization

14. Next Steps Toward Collaboration: materials tab extension, SQL server export, enhanced configuration, visualization, web curation

15. Conclusions Collaboration potential: ISA-Tab-Nano, NPO & other ontologies, isaTools, and Nanomaterial Registry Technical Challenges: bugs, UI enhancements, material tab support, existing data, data provenance Social Challenges: broad user acceptance, flexibility, user-friendly interface, outreach, incentives Data currently available in Nanomaterial registry
