Document Title: | Standard Guide for Investigation/Study/Assay Tab-Delimited Format for Nanotechnologies (ISA-TAB-Nano): Standard File Format for the Submission and Exchange of Data on Nanomaterials and Characterizations |
url: | |
Scope: | This guide (ISA-TAB-Nano) specifies the format for representing and sharing information about nanomaterials, small molecules and biological specimens along with their assay characterization data (including metadata, and summary data) using spreadsheet or TAB-delimited files. |
Keywords: | dynamic light scattering; nano; nanoparticle tracking analysis; photon correlation spectroscopy |
Type of Document: | a. Standard |
Issues Areas: | Terminology and Nomenclature Measurement and Characterizations Material Specifications |

Goal or Need: | This guide is intended to facilitate the meaningful submission and exchange of nanomaterial descriptions and characterization data (metadata and summary data) along with the other files (raw/derived data files, image files, protocol documents, etc.) among individual researchers and to or from nanotechnology resources. This guide also serves to empower organizations to adopt standard methods for representing data in nanotechnology publications; and to provide researchers with guidelines for representing nanomaterials and characterizations to achieve cross-material comparison. This guide encourages standardization in the field of informatics, where adherence ISA-TAB-Nano concepts nanotechnology to a broader and established bioinformatics community. |
Intended Stakeholders: | Researchers, developers, and users of nanomaterials and nanotechnology-enabled products. Stakeholders from industry, government agencies, including regulatory agencies, and academia. |
