Elab2ARC: A Browser-Based Workspace for Converting Free-Text Protocols into rich FAIR digital objects (opens in new tab)

Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) are widely used in the life sciences, but their notebook format limits machine-readability and FAIR compliance. Consequently, researchers often spend significant manual effort restructuring ELN records into publication-ready outputs. We present elab2ARC, a browser-based workspace that automates the conversion of open-source eLabFTW records into Annotated Research Contexts (ARCs) - version-controlled, ISA-compliant research objects. Using the eLabFTW API,...
