Lab Service Wiki: a wiki-based data management solution for protein production service

Lab Service Wiki is a Semantic MediaWiki implementation for the management of a production laboratory. Here we describe its implementation on a protein service lab. Users of the service enter information about a sample and the desired analysis to be performed by using a semantic-enabled form built on top of a wiki page. After submitting, a workflow is created, and the manager of the service can assign different experimental tasks to the lab operators. The final output is the generation of a report for the requester. Users and operators, according to their profile and granted permissions, can track the state of the requests and the associated experiments at any time.
