The Allotrope Foundation led discussion on building an open framework for laboratory data - recommending a holistic approach to build upon & promote industry standards & best practices by providing software that instantiates them.
2. We pay scientists to do what?!?!
At work… At home…
• we manually • computers give us
compile and write button-
static reports click, interactive, drill
– candidate selection documents -down reports
– internal technical reports
– certificates of analysis
– stability reports
– specifications
– release documents
– IQ, OQ, PQ, PM
– IND, NDA, MAA
– et cetera

• Costs affect nearly every person, department, and
process in every company in our industry
• Downstream effects go well beyond the traditional
“analytical laboratory”

9. Current Scope: Analytical Chemistry for Our Industry
Functional areas in CMC, Discovery
• Drug substance, drug product release, stability
• Compound registration
• Development understanding
• Process chemistry monitoring
Analytical chemistry
• Small molecules
• Biopharmaceuticals
Out of scope of current project

10. Real Deliverables Emergent Outcomes
Not a ‘Standards Body”;
A holistic approach to build upon & promote
industry standards & best practices, by
providing software that instantiates them
software development
starts this summer

11. The elephant in the room
• Every company spends lots of
money and FTE resource treating or
living with the symptoms…
• The moment has arrived for the
industry to embrace a pre-
competitive approach to treat the
underlying disease
• Software development starts this
summer, join us now to help shape
the solution

12. Why become a member of Allotrope Foundation?
• Members of Allotrope Foundation can benefit from
the opportunities beyond the use of the final
deliverables.
– In-depth understanding of the needs relating to the
collection, formatting and transmittal of data;
– “Members Only” solutions, early access to deliverables,
including tools for data conversion from proprietary to
open formats
• Most importantly, participating in the Foundation
will help ensure that the project has sufficient
resources and substantive support to succeed.

Notas do Editor
Without adoption, a data standard alone is an abstract, esoteric idea that cannot alone create change. What’s required is a more holistic approach, a “framework” including information standards for experimental data, the meta-data associated with those data and their associated workflows, and a toolkit that enables the instrument & soft-ware providers to integrate the standards into their platforms The Framework will consist of 3 interacting components: Open document standards based on XML, JSON or other formats that support structured data. Open metadata repositories containing dictionaries to provide accurate metadata input into laboratory systems Open source class libraries and web services that will produce and consume content from components 1 & 2 above.
This slide depicts the overall laboratory process decomposed into a chronological sequence of events, starting from left to right, that take place during the analysis of every sample in the laboratory, regardless of analytical technique, purpose, or complexity of the test or experiment. The logical model of the analytical laboratory process is that of a sequence of “unit processes” that are executed sequentially and in order (purple boxes). A “unit process”, in this context, performs a function that accepts well-defined pre-requisite input, required for its function, and produces at a minimum the output required for input into the adjacent unit process. Each unit process serves a single purpose in the chain of events that comprise the whole process (starting from the left, moving right). Unit processes (purple boxes) begin on the left with “Plan Analysis” and proceed sequentially to “Report Results”. Dashed lines represent optional unit processes. Red boxes represent the information (data and metadata) that must be captured before the next downstream unit process can be completed. Orange boxes represent actions that operate on the information represented by the red boxes. Wrapping the entire process is a “Document Experiment” capability that must be carried out to document the experiment.
To drive and focus the development process, a novel, proof-of-concept (PoC) application will be built using the Framework. As a primary objective, the PoC Application will be designed to demonstrate the power and advantages of using the Framework. Additionally, the PoC Application will be an essential component of a real-world test bed that will be used to test and optimize the usability of the Framework during its development.
