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 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.

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.
