| ==Purpose and technology==
| |
| An SDMS is used to improve data handling and management issues in a number of scientific disciplines. As the four Vs of modern big data—volume, variety, veracity, and velocity—increase time spent on data acquisition and management, taking time away from other aspects of scientific research and complicating aspects of experimental reproducibility, solutions like an SDMS can help better manage the total lifecycle of data.<ref name=StansberryDataFed19">{{Cite journal |last=Stansberry |first=Dale |last2=Somnath |first2=Suhas |last3=Breet |first3=Jessica |last4=Shutt |first4=Gregory |last5=Shankar |first5=Mallikarjun |date=2019-12 |title=DataFed: Towards Reproducible Research via Federated Data Management |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9071425/ |journal=2019 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI) |publisher=IEEE |place=Las Vegas, NV, USA |pages=1312–1317 |doi=10.1109/CSCI49370.2019.00245 |isbn=978-1-7281-5584-5}}</ref> This is accomplished through a variety of tools, including data normalization and integration, data sharing and management, metadata capture and management, data object and record management, and robust search.<ref name=StansberryDataFed19" />

| As with many other [[laboratory informatics]] tools, the lines between an SDMS, LIMS, ELN, and other systems are at times blurred, as functionality from these systems makes their way into each other.<ref name="KranjcIntro21" /><ref name="ASTME1578" /> However, there are some essential qualities that an SDMS owns that distinguishes it from other informatics systems:
| |
|
| |
| 1. While a LIMS has traditionally been built to handle structured, mostly homogeneous data, a SDMS (and systems like it) is built to handle unstructured, mostly heterogeneous data.<ref name="ElliottConsider03">{{cite web |url=https://www.scientificcomputing.com/article/2003/10/considerations-management-laboratory-data |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170426150419/http://www.scientificcomputing.com/article/2003/10/considerations-management-laboratory-data |title=Considerations for Management of Laboratory Data |author=Elliott, M.H. |work=Scientific Computing |publisher=Advantage Business Media |date=31 October 2003 |archivedate=26 April 2017 |accessdate=21 March 2020}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| 2. A SDMS typically acts as a seamless "wrapper" for other data systems like LIMS and ELN in the laboratory, though sometimes the SDMS software is readily apparent.
| |
|
| |
| 3. A SDMS is designed primarily for data consolidation, knowledge management, and knowledge asset realization.<ref name="WoodComp07">{{cite web |url=https://www.it.uu.se/edu/course/homepage/lims/vt12/ComprehensiveLaboratoryInformatics.pdf |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825181932/https://www.it.uu.se/edu/course/homepage/lims/vt12/ComprehensiveLaboratoryInformatics.pdf |format=PDF |title=Comprehensive Laboratory Informatics: A Multilayer Approach |author=Wood, S. |work=American Laboratory |page=1 |date=September 2007 |archivedate=25 August 2017}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| An SDMS can be seen as one potential solution for handling unstructured data, which can make up nearly 75 percent of a research and development unit's data.<ref name="SciComp1">{{cite web |url=http://www.rdworldonline.com/tomorrows-successful-research-organizations-face-a-critical-challenge/ |author=Deutsch, S. |title=Tomorrow’s Successful Research Organizations Face a Critical Challenge |work=R&D World |publisher=WTWH Media LLC |date=31 December 2006 |accessdate=21 March 2020}}</ref> This includes PDF files, images, instrument data, spreadsheets, and other forms of data rendered in many environments in the laboratory. Traditional SDMSs have focused on acting as a nearly invisible blanket or wrapper that integrate [[information]] from corporate offices (standard operating procedures, safety documents, etc.) with data from lab devices and other data management tools, all to be indexed and searchable from a central database. An SDMS also must be focused on increasing research productivity without sacrificing data sharing and collaboration efforts.<ref name="SciComp1" />
