Here we showcase research collaborations, which use the Cloud Resource & Information Management System to manage, share and analyze their data.
The network bundles the broadly-based research of Leibniz institutes on molecules with biological effects.
The alliance develops "lifeworld-oriented strategies for dealing with the challenges of demographic change".
The German-Latin American Centre of Infection & Epidemiology Research and Training coordinates activities on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and the development of strategies to tackle global health challenges.
Use CRIMSy to manage documents, have them analyzed and share them with selected peers. Our configurable processing pipeline indexes the content of your documents. Our current EU-funded ABCDEE project aims to significantly improve document processing and information storage & retrieval.

Administrators can define any number of document collections. Upon upload, documents are indexed by a configurable processing pipeline. The processing includes text extraction, language detection, stemming and stopword removal.
The document collections can be searched by keywords and the results are ranked globally by usefulness. Single documents can be downloaded.
CRIMSy distinguishes between material and item. The first - material - is a rather conceptual and a collection of information about chemical or biologial matter or other things. Being conceptual, it is not possible to attribute an amount or a location. The second - item - is a physical embodiment of a material, having amount and location as attributes.
Various stocks can be managed: chemicals, biological material, consumables.
Record your experiments and decide, who will be able to access the data.
This video will highlight a few use cases of our system.
How can I get access to CRIMSy?
Please approach your group leader or your IT personel, whether an instance of CRIMSy is available
at your institution. If not, please ask your IT personel to contact us, as installation and
maintenance of CRIMSy requires some IT background. We would be happy to support them in making
CRIMSy available for you.
More details can be found in the "As a Scientist" section of our project page.
I am an IT administrator, how can I install CRIMSy?
We have compiled detailed information about preconditions as well as installation and maintenance
procedures on our project page.
I am a developer, how can I contribute to CRIMSy development?
The source code of CRIMSy is available at
https://github.com/ipb-halle/CRIMSy.
Please refer to our project page for more information.
The Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry pays a developer's salary and finances most of the infrastructure needed for development.
The project was initiated in 2016 as "Leibniz Bioactives Cloud" by the Leibniz Research Alliance "Bioactive Compounds & Biotechnology". For this purpose, the Research Alliance received generous support from the Senate Strategic Committee (SAS) of the Leibniz Association.
From Nov. 2019 to Sept. 2022, the European Regional Development Fund supported the development of the "Cloud Resource & Information Managment System" as part of the project "ProCognito - Plant based natural products for the preservation of cognitive capabilities in old age".
