What:ZOO is a generic Desktop Experiment Management Environment that can be customized and placed on the desks of many scientists to manage their experimental studies.
Why:Over the last decade, a dramatic increase has been observed in the ability of individual experimental scientists to generate and store data, which has not been matched by an equivalent development of adequate data management tools.
Who:ZOO is being developed by a group of Computer Scientists in collaboration with several domain scientists, mostly from Soil Science and Biochemistry, but also Manufacturing, Physics, Genetics, and Molecular Biology.
