SDMS (Scientific Data Management System)

Database application for managing scientific laboratory data (raw data, results files, documents). These software applications are often designed for the organized long-term storage of complex analytical data such as spectra or chromatograms, and in addition to data acquisition and import, they also include data visualization and, in some cases, report generation.
SDMS functionality is also found in some LIMS products, which often rely on XML-based data storage, for example in the standardized AnIML format (Analytical Information Markup Language).
