From Instruments to FAIR Repositories: A Browser-Based Workflow for Scientific Data Processing and Knowledge Extraction Online

For the past two decades, our work has focused on improving the full lifecycle of scientific data—from acquisition at the instrument level to long-term, FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) storage in public repositories. Beyond ensuring data preservation, we have aimed to make scientific data directly processable and interpretable within the web browser, enabling seamless knowledge extraction without local software installation.

In this presentation, I will demonstrate a set of web-based tools developed to support this vision, showcasing live examples of interactive data analysis and FAIR data management. These tools include:

  • nmrium.org – NMR data visualization and processing in the browser

  • demo.scipeaks.com – a platform for storing and processing scientific data

  • chemcalc.org – isotopic distribution calculator

  • cphunter.cheminfo.org – determination of pollution in chlorinated paraffin mixtures

  • polycalc.org – high-precision mass spectral analysis of polymers

  • wikipedia.cheminfo.org – a searchable database of chemical structures from Wikipedia

Together, these examples illustrate a sustainable, open, and interoperable approach to scientific data workflows—bridging the gap between raw experimental output and accessible, reusable scientific knowledge.
