SiLA

Standardization in Lab Automation: Open communication standard for networking software systems in the laboratory and laboratory devices. The SiLA organization aims to create international standards that enable open connectivity in laboratory automation. The vision of SiLA is to create interoperability, flexibility and resource optimization for the integration of laboratory devices and software services based on standardized communication protocols and content specifications. SiLA 2 is a "micro-service" framework and is based on open, well-established communication protocols and defines on them the common concepts and a vocabulary, or taxonomy needed in the (science) laboratory.
