Abstract
The architecture of the networked virtual laboratories and remote
experiments in Baden-Württemberg (BW-eLabs) is aiming at the extension of
the access to diverse remote and virtual experimental resources as well as
effective and enduring storage, indexing and (re-)use of experimental raw data
for academic and scientific objectives. Following an open access policy, the
BW-eLabs understands itself as an open network for scientific data and
experimental set-ups. In this context, the facilitation of external access to local
experimental set-ups and, at the same, time safeguarding reproducibility and
transparency of the experiments are vital requirements. Thus, one of the
features of the BW-eLabs is that documents and data are being monitored along
their whole life cycle time and embedded into a process chain of experimental
environments. Hence, the incorporation of existing infrastructures, e.g.
decentralized repositories and tools, and digital libraries, in the virtual 3D-
plattform of the BW-eLabs is another principal point. (Remote) access to
experimental equipment is an important prerequisite to ensure all scientific
communities involved can use the appropriate professional tools. The
outstanding cost-intensiveness of experimental equipment in this area,
recommends nanotechnology to serve as a demonstrator discipline.
Advancement of cooperation and collaboration in scientific communities in
high-tech fields takes centre stage in this notion.
