| The mission and goal of the 'Laboratory Informatics Encyclopedia', otherwise known as [[LIMS]] Wiki, is to provide the [[LIMS community]] with an organized, documented, up-to-date, standardized body of knowledge (BOK) regarding all aspects of a [[laboratory informatics]], [[bioinformatics]], and [[health informatics]]. The value and success of the LIMS Wiki (like any community wiki) is dependent upon the LIMS community contributing their vast knowledge through the creation of relevant articles and editing of existing articles where knowledge is absent.

| The explosion of the laboratory and health informatics fields paired with the vast number of [[LIMS vendor|LIMS vendors]] and products — as well as LIMS' increased scope well beyond its original purpose of [[sample]] management to just about all facets of [[laboratory]] operations — has resulted in a wealth of information not easily comprehended. This potential confusion frustrates informatics customers and makes the already challenging task of successfully implementing and managing a LIMS, [[ELN]], or other informatics software even more difficult. It will be of great value to all in the community (including vendors, users, and [[LIMS consultant|consultants]]) to have a common vocabulary and understanding to facilitate communication, comparison, and product integration, providing maximum value to buyers and maximum opportunity to vendors and consultants.
