Abstract
The transformation and consequent use of new digital technologies not only have a substantial impact on society and companies, but also on science. Analog documentation and research, as we have known it for centuries, will eventually be replaced by intelligent, more FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) digital methods ands systems. In addition to the actual research data and results, metadata now plays an important role not only for individual, independently existing projects, but also for future scientific use and interdisciplinary research groups and disciplines. The solution presented here, consisting of an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) and laboratory information management system (LIMS) based on the openBIS (open Biology Information System) environment, offers interesting features and advantages, especially for interdisciplinary work. The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1411 "Design of Particulate Products" of the German Research Foundation is characterized by the cooperation of different working groups of synthesis, characterization, and simulation, and therefore serves as a model environment to present this implementation of openBIS. OpenBIS, as an open-source ELN-LIMS solution following FAIR principles, provides a common set of general entries, with the possibility of sharing and linking (meta-)data to improve the scientific exchange between all users.

Notes
This presentation is faithful to the original, with only a few minor changes to presentation. In some cases important information was missing from the references, and that information was added.
