Agenda
4.30pm Welcome coffee
5.00pm Electronic Laboratory Notebooks and the Management
of Modern Scientific Research and Development - an
Industry Perspective
John Trigg, Managing Director, phaseFour Informatics, UK
John Trigg has over 20 years experience of working in the
field of R&D data, information and knowledge management
including 10 years experience of the worlds first
enterprise level implementation of an Electronic Lab
Notebook at Kodak. He will provide an overview of the
critical emerging role of ELNs in modern industry
research.
5.30pm Electronic Laboratory Notebooks as Engines of
Knowledge for Research and Development - a Knowledge
Management Perspective
Dr. Barry Hardy, Founder of the InnovationWell and
eCheminfo Communities of Practice
and Director, Knowledge Management Institute, Switzerland
Barry Hardy will provide an overview of the critical
knowledge management strategies and methodologies for
enabling productivity and successful outcomes in
collaborative-based R&D. He will discuss knowledge
assessment approaches aimed at the continuous improvement
of the innovation and performance of the R&D organisation
and its support ELN systems.
6.00pm ELN Framework Requirements to Support Collaborative
Multidisciplinary R&D A Solutions Perspective
Dr. Jeff Spitzner, President & Chief Science Officer,
Rescentris; Ohio, USA
Jeff Spitzner is a leading expert in bioinformatics,
knowledge management, and electronic laboratory notebook
systems. In 1997 he co-authored the BSML data standard for
bioinformatics, the pioneering XML technology in the life
sciences; today he provides the vision and guides the
development of Rescentris products. He will discuss the
design and implementation of collaboration frameworks for
the management of scientific research, and the role of
semantic web technologies in record-keeping solutions that
support the integrated R&D organization.
6.30pm Panel Discussion with Audience
The speakers and audience will discuss Electronic
Laboratory Notebooks and their role in managing and
supporting R&D in todays complex multidisciplinary
scientific environment.
