Open Source Research Data Management Software
LinkAhead is a flexible open source software toolkit created specifically for the requirements of **research data management**. LinkAhead adapts to your unique setup and mix of data sources. The software can integrate Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs), databases, repositories, machines, or any other source that provides data in a structured manner. LinkAhead can be configured to **automatically detect new and updated data** and reference it within the system. A powerful search language provides access not only to the data and its contents but also to interlinked data sets at any hierarchical depth. LinkAhead offers intuitive data access and visualization via a **user-friendly web interface**. A precise version history and the flexibility of the underlying data model allow you to operate safely without putting your research data at risk. With your **data brought together in one place**, you have new opportunities in terms of search, API access, and collaboration. The result: • FAIR data with ease • Automated data integration and efficient searchability • Agile data model adaptable at any time In our [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/linkahead/linkahead) you can report bugs, ask questions, or contribute in any other way.
