What features are coming next?
We are continuously improving the software behind NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis. Here you can find the features we are currently planning and developing, and where each one can be tested.

Backlog

Discussed and being designed, but not yet merged. You can join the discussion or open a new feature request.

Not yet available

Oasis data transfer

Allows you to move uploads from one installation to another, e.g. publish data from your Oasis to the public NOMAD service.

ELN and upload UI/UX

We added a lot of features (incremental uploads, custom schemas, ELNs, Nexus) without re-thinking the UI. We are now working on a better user experience.

Chemotion ELN integration

Import notebooks and files from Chemotion into NOMAD.

In development

A preliminary implementation exists but is still being tested. Try these on the develop branch of our repository, or on an Oasis running the develop image tag.

Related resources

On each entry that represents a formal systems, users can initiate a search in sources similar to NOMAD to identify entries on similar materials within other community databases.

Schema base classes

These are re-usable schema parts that you can use to create your own custom data based on shared definitions for things like activities, experiments, measurements, instruments, systems, compositions, and much more.

Hierarchical systems

Complex or large systems (e.g. solutions, interfaces, metal organic frameworks) are broken down into subsystems that can be visualized and accessed independently.

In beta

Still experimental, and running on the NOMAD beta installation or on an Oasis using the latest image tag.

Plug-ins

Add schemas, ELNs, parsers, and normalizers to an Oasis installation without building your own Oasis image. Learn more

Custom workflows and visualizer

A new workflow model that allows you to create custom workflows via archive files, custom schema, ELNs, and your own parsers.

ElabFTW and LabFolder integration

Import experiments from the popular eLabFTW via the official .eln file format, or import projects from LABFOLDER.

NORTH

The NOMAD Remote Tools Hub allows you to run containerized tools like Jupyter directly on your uploaded data.

Recently released

Shipped and available to everyone on the public NOMAD service, or on any Oasis using the stable image tag.

Electronic Lab Notebook functionality

Create and edit structured data based on custom schemas and NOMAD's ELN functionality.

Nexus support

Allows you to upload and parse Nexus files. You can preview HDF5 directly in the browser via H5Web.

Search apps

Allows you to define custom search interfaces for your Oasis. This also includes a solar-cell search app based on the Perovskite Database Project on the public NOMAD service.
