OWW Lab Notebooks
Analysis / Rationale
As version 1.0 of the OWW Lab Notebook has demonstrated, there is a desire/need within the community to enter and maintain research data in an online lab notebook.
Enthusiasm for online notebooks ranges from intense: "I want the paper lab notebook to vanish as quickly as possible! My lab currently uses our private wiki hosted by OWW for 100% or our lab notebooks", to lukewarm: "paper notebooks are supportive of truly informal and flexible notation styles", to guarded (mainly about the openness): "My collaborators are not as familiar with open science as I am, and I think it would take a lot of convincing to have them agree to doing it all in public."
Access control appears to be one of the gating factors for acceptance.
