=Main concept=
An ''open lab book'' that can be shared across the globe with all value networks. This is built on a p2p platform. At first, it is a repository of information, but can be enhanced with other tools for matching, searching, forking and remixing, semantics, etc. Another function is to log contributions to R&D projects.

:::This tool can also be used in academia. In fact, it would be nice to get some interest form academia in order to gather support on development. This idea goes further than the ''open labook'' idea (see wikipedia link below). It is in fact a blend between the value network model, allowing amalgamation of contributions and recognition attribution, with the idea of transparency, which is instantiated by ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_notebook_science open notebook science]''. In other words, the value network model can be applied to science. It can in fact revolutionize sharing of scientific and technical data, information and knowledge.

'''Some important ideas'''

''Electronic lab notebooks'' used for development or research in regulated industries, such as medical devices or pharmaceuticals, are expected to comply with FDA regulations related to software validation. The purpose of these regulations is to '''ensure the integrity of the entries in terms of time, authorship, and content'''. Unlike ELNs for patent protection, FDA is not concerned with patent interference proceedings, but is concerned with '''avoidance of falsification'''.

There's a lot of literature about the ELN. [http://bitesizebio.com/articles/how-to-manage-scientific-data-electronic-lab-notebooks-compared-with-google-docs-and-wikis/ Some people here compare wiki, Google docs, and ELN]

The ELNs I see are for specific purpose (biology, chemistry, with databases of chemical compounds per example). I feel we will have to design our own general ELN and interface it with the VAS.

=History=
This topic was discussed for the first time by Tibi, Bob and Francois, during an [https://docs.google.com/document/d/17EM4ICFd6r7M0SEJysKBxhR_sid1qKcmOwBV_1ZQpmM/edit#heading=h.zbltux5j058y infrastructure meeting on Monday 26, 2012]. This was in response to Bob's call for a leap, a new idea about managing R&D contributions.

=Praxis=

==SENSORICA's current practices==

'''Project documentation''': Each R&D project has its own page on SENSORICA's website. See [http://www.sensorica.co/home/projects project list here]. Moreover, each R&D project has a folder associated with it in the shared database, which is a shared but not public Google Drive. The evolution is documented in a '''main document'''. These main documents are linked within the value accounting system (see below). The problem is that there is no systematic way to distinguish who documented what.

'''Contribution log''': The [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjrQyEif2HItdEY0U0VUZ1VlaFhTN1dRWmRDUzlEc2c#gid=0 Back Office Catalog] contains a list of '''projects''' and '''activities''' (activities are becoming '''work types''' in the new system). This list of projects and activities appear in the forms used to log time contributions. This is how the system records different activities associated to different projects. The log also contains a short description of the work done, and can contain links to the main document of the project. Anyone can go back from the time contribution log, reading the short description of the activity associated with a specific project, and go to the project's webpage to see the context. This movement from the log to the context of the project is necessary for the '''evaluation''' of the contribution.

'''The problem''' with this system is that the context is separated from the contribution log.

==SENSORICA's new prototype==
See our new prototype for [[R&D projects]]. This new prototype provides better integration between the time contribution log and the context of the contribution.

+An ''open lab book'' is a tool for documentation of work, activities, shared by all [[affiliates]] of an [[OVN]]. It is designed and implemented in such a way that is fully compatible with the organizational and economic principles of the OVN. Firstly, it is a repository of information, but can be enhanced with other tools for matching, searching, forking and remixing, semantics, etc. Secondly, it is a backup of contribution logs in the [[NRP-CAS]] for [[projects]] and [[ventures]].
-:::This tool can also be used in academia. In fact, it would be nice to get some interest form academia in order to gather support on development. This idea goes further than the ''open labook'' idea (see wikipedia link below). It is in fact a blend between the value network model, allowing amalgamation of contributions and recognition attribution, with the idea of transparency, which is instantiated by ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_notebook_science open notebook science]''.

+:::The open lab book would be a great tool for academia, especially to support [[open science]] practices. In the academic context, the open lab book would blend the OVN model, allowing amalgamation of contributions and recognition attribution, with the idea of [[transparency]] in science, which is instantiated by ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_notebook_science open notebook science]''. It can  revolutionize sharing of scientific and technical data, information and knowledge.

Processes are to be understood in the context of a [[project]] or [[venture]], which are called ''contexts of work'' in the NRP vernacular. This is how different activities associated to different [[projects]] or [[ventures]] are recorded. The log also contains a short description of the work done, and can contain links to the ''Main document'', ''R&D doc'' and other docs part of the [[project]] or [[venture]]. Anyone can go back from the time contribution log, reading the short description of the activity associated with a specific [[process]], navigate to the docs and the website for a higher overview or contextualization. This movement from the log to the context is necessary for the [[evaluation]] process of [[contribution]].
 '''The problem''' with this system is that the context is separated from the contribution log.
