Instance maps as an organising concept for complex experimental workflows as demonstrated for (nano)material safety research by Benjamin Punz, Maja Brajnik, Joh Dokler, Jaleesia D. Amos, Litty Johnson, Katie Reilly, Anastasios G. Papadiamantis, Amaia Green Etxabe, Lee Walker, Diego S. T. Martinez, Steffi Friedrichs, Klaus M. Weltring, Nazende Günday-Türeli, Claus Svendsen, Christine Ogilvie Hendren, Mark R. Wiesner, Martin Himly, Iseult Lynch, Thomas E. Exner

“…Application of the InstanceMaps tool (described herein) to research workflows of increasing complexity is presented to demonstrate its utility, starting from (i) documentation of a nanomaterial’s synthesis, functionalisation, and characterisation, over (ii) assessment of a nanomaterial’s transformations in complex media, (iii) description of the culturing of ecotoxicity model organisms Daphnia magna and their use in standardised tests for nanomaterials ecotoxicity assessment, and (iv) visualisation of complex workflows in human immunotoxicity assessment using cell lines and primary cellular models, to (v) the use of the instance map approach for the coordination of materials and data flows in complex multipartner collaborative projects and for the demonstration of case studies. …”
