NOMAD Oasis allows you to benefit from NOMAD's data management features within the premises of your organisation. Before you publish data on NOMAD, manage your data in your Oasis!
NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis are the same software operated at different places. Install NOMAD on a server in your institute and start managing your data.
Why use NOMAD Oasis?
Computational Materials Science
Let group members manage and share their simulation outputs and never have to look for missing data again. See all group's data at a glance. Develop and share Jupyter notebooks that perform common analysis tasks. Adapt the existing parsers and normalisers to your workflows.
Synthesis and Experiments
Put in your own schemas or extend the existing schema to model exactly the data that are acquired in your lab's workflows. NOMAD allows you to enter notes and data by hand, but you can also integrate with your instrumentation via APIs and neXus files.
Disconnected from the Internet
You can control how open you Oasis is. Operate it only within the premises of your private network, connect it to your existing users management, or white-list NOMAD users you want to collaborate with. Use NOMAD to manage your reasearch data, independant of if and when to publish.
The building blocks for FAIRmat
NOMAD is the software used in FAIRmat, the NFDI data infrastructure for condensed-matter physics and the chemical physics of solids. FAIRmat builds a network of research institutes and organisations to build a distributed infrastructure for FAIR data. With NOMAD Oasis you can came become a part of this network; collaborate by sharing your data; and eventually publish your research data on NOMAD.
Operating local independent NOMAD Oases allows each lab to adapt NOMAD to its particular needs without requirering immediate changes of centralized infrastructure components. This gives FAIRmat the chance to grow beyond a top-down approach to data management and provides each member the oppotunity to freely shape data management in their field.
Each Oasis is unique. You can develop and use your own parsers to support your novel formats, run your tools within its JupyterHUB based NORTH, create your own schemas and structured ELNs, or let your instrument put data into NOMAD via our API.
How to get an Oasis?
NOMAD is Open-Source
NOMAD can be used under the Apache 2 Open-Source license for free. It's an open platform that you can use and help us shape as a community. Share your experience, solutions, and data with us.
Simple installation via Docker
NOMAD software is distributed as a docker image. We provide a simple installation that can be done in minutes to get started. But you scale NOMAD depending on your needs and available infrastructure.
Try our Examples
Don't have any data to get started with? NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis now contains examples. Instead of creating an empty upload (i.e. project), select from predefined examples that act as blue-prints for your own projects.
