Do you know that feeling?

Where enormous amounts of research data accumulate, it is not always easy to keep an overview:

Where do I find my valuable research data? What is the relationship between the research data? How do I deal with changing data structures? My workflow is already optimized, so I can’t use the new research data the way I would like to.

LinkAhead - Your advantages

LinkAhead was developed as an open source tool in scientific research and enables flexible data structures in your research data management. Compared to conventional systems, LinkAhead is designed to easily respond to changing, new requirements.

The semantic data model makes it possible to link research data according to their meaning. This significantly improves the findability of your research data and gives you more flexibility.

And thanks to an intuitive search language, LinkAhead is outstandingly searchable.

Automation is the key

No matter how your research data is formatted, with LinkAhead it is possible to integrate almost any file type automatically. This greatly increases efficiency and prevents errors and data loss. Also LinkAhead presents your research data in a versatile and easy way (e.g. as tables, graphs, etc.) and export is also possible at any time.

Other software and hardware can be used together with LinkAhead or even connected to it conveniently. LinkAhead adapts to you, not the other way around!

Your research data is worth it!

Benefit from the advantages LinkAhead offers you and leave the times of unstructured research data behind you. You will see: research data management can be really simple. And you can begin to fully exploit the value of your research data.

LinkAhead gives you the opportunity to make working with your research data fun again. Convince yourself of the user experience and take our interactive tour.

For small research groups up to entire institutes

LinkAhead is for small research groups to work together on one shared research data set, but can scale to whole research institutes with a large number of users due to its sophisticated rights management. Since LinkAhead only saves meta data and references to the original research data in the system, it easily scales to millions of entries and doesn’t care about the size of the source data. LinkAhead is an additive system that allows you to start small and grow with your research data and team.

Developed by data scientists for your professional research data management

LinkAhead adapts to your unique setup and mix of data sources. The software can integrate Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) data bases, repositories, machines or any other source that provides data in a structured manner. LinkAhead’s crawlers can be configured to automatically detect new and updated research data and reference it in the system. A precise versioning history and the flexibility of the underlying data model allows you to operate safely without putting your research data at risk. With your data set brought together in one place, you get extra functionality in terms of search, API access and collaboration.
