Compliance with good research data management practices means trust in the integrity of the data, and it is achievable by full control of the data gathering process. In this work, we demonstrate tooling which bridges these two aspects, and illustrate its use in a case study of automated battery cycling. We successfully interface off-the-shelf battery cycling hardware with the computational workflow management software AiiDA, allowing us to control experiments, while ensuring trust in the data by tracking its provenance. We design user interfaces compatible with this tooling, which span the inventory, experiment design, and result analysis stages. Other features, including monitoring of workflows and import of externally generated and legacy data are also implemented. Finally, the full software stack required for this work is made available in a set of open-source packages.
遵循良好的研究数据管理规范意味着对数据完整性的信任,而通过对数据收集过程的全面控制是可以实现这一点的。在这项工作中,我们展示了连接这两个方面的工具,并在一个自动电池循环的案例研究中说明了其用法。我们成功地将现成的电池循环硬件与计算工作流管理软件AiiDA连接起来,使我们能够控制实验,同时通过跟踪数据来源确保对数据的信任。我们设计了与此工具兼容的用户界面,这些界面涵盖了库存、实验设计和结果分析阶段。还实现了其他功能,包括工作流监控以及外部生成数据和遗留数据的导入。最后,这项工作所需的完整软件栈以一组开源包的形式提供。
