We are pleased to announce that the Pistoia Alliance has signed a new agreement to collaborate with Allotrope Foundation, a non-profit consortium dedicated to standardizing and linking scientific data to accelerate insights generation. The Allotrope Framework offers a toolkit for developing interoperable data models using ontologies to drive FAIR data creation at source, and has been broadly applied to instrument result data with applications to other data types coming soon. The Pistoia Alliance has over a decade of experience delivering innovative member-driven projects that are focused on application of FAIR principles and data standards. Pistoia Alliance has new project ideas that will benefit from use of Allotrope technology and the expertise of Allotrope Foundation and its members. Allotrope Foundation’s standardized content requires testing and feedback from real-world implementations for continuous improvement, which Pistoia Alliance’s portfolio of projects and broad market outreach will help provide.
“We are delighted to be collaborating once again with Allotrope Foundation who are leading the way in setting a new standard for leveraging data through the Allotrope Framework. We look forward to identifying opportunities to work together to speed up research and development and deliver greater benefits to members of both organizations,” commented Dr. Becky Upton, President of the Pistoia Alliance.
Vinny Antonucci, Chair of Allotrope Foundation added: “The age of AI has provided unprecedented opportunities to extract additional value from our data, creating necessary additional focus on data context and quality. This pre-competitive collaboration brings together the highly complementary capabilities of each organization to accelerate advances in data quality which move us closer to releasing the value hidden in our data.”
