The main topic of this DTL Focus meeting will be study capturing, presenting and discussing several approaches currently available, as well as discussing the needs for extensions in currently available standards.

During the first part of the meeting, a number of case studies (approaches) will be presented, including the Phenotype Database (mainly focusing at its capturing module GSCF), SysMO-DB, eFoodLab, and the Research Object Model / myExperiment. This will be followed by a discussion on complementarity and gaps.

In the second part, the needs for extensions of study capturing standards will be discussed, based on the presentations in the first part plus short presentations on field-specific extensions in GSCF (nutritional research), SysMO-DB, ISAtab-nano (nanomaterials), MOLGENIS/Observ-OM, DiXa (toxicology). The part will be wrapped up in an integrative discussion on the gaps identified, with special focus on extension to the isa-tab standard.

The meeting will be concluded with a sessions to determine how to proceed using and bringing together existing solutions and extending them where needed.
