SciMesh
=======

:Date: 2023-04-04
:Abstract: SciMesh is a set of specifications that define the representation of
           scientific results in form of a knowledge graph.  While many such
           data formats focus on simulation data, SciMesh explicitly includes
           physical specimens as first-class citizens.  Thus, provenance of
           both data and specimens can be documented.  SciMesh’s immediate
           purpose is to represent content of electronic lab notebooks (ELNs)
           for sharing scientific results across ELN instances.  This way,
           collaboration partners running different ELNs (even different ELN
           software) can have a uniform view on their collective results
           without media disruptions.
