Energy Material Network Data Hubs

In early 2015 the United States Department of Energy conceived a consortium collaborative bodies based on shared expertise, data, and resources that could be targeted towards more difficult problems in energy materials research. The concept virtual laboratories had been envisioned discussed earlier decade response to advent Materials Genome Initiative similar scientific thrusts. To effective, any laboratory needed robust method for data management, communication, security, sharing, dissemination, demonstration work efficiently effectively groups remote researchers. With accessibility new, easily deployed cloud technology software frameworks, such individual elements integrated, required collaboration architecture is now possible. developers have leveraged open-source customized them, merged them into platform enable science, regardless geographic dispersal people resources. After five years operations, systems are demonstratively an effective enabling research within Material Networks (EMN). This paper will show design development secured sharing platform, ability customize system support diverse workflows, examples enabled results connected with some Networks.
