What’s next?
The significant upfront investment to date by the Founding Members of Allotrope has positioned us for long term sustainability, and provides an approach, structure and community that can be leveraged with additional incremental investment to extend into other domains of laboratory data. The future roadmap of techniques, instrument and data types, and use cases will be determined by the community of adopters and implementers and their investments to extend the taxonomies, ontologies and data models. But, the extensibility and generalization of the Allotrope Framework means it’s not a question of “how”- it’s only a questions of “where” you want to go next! We have the Framework and a repeatable approach to expand techniques, we just need the subject matter experts willing to collaborate.
