Description

We present the latest developments, the future directions and the current adoption of SciLog at PSI. SciLog is an electronic logbook developed and operated at PSI, which stores unstructured information captured by humans and systems during an experiment. It aims to replace paper notebooks often used during experiments and enhance scientists' experience by enabling them, e.g., to jot unstructured data and track to-dos. It supports collaborative editing and can, but is not limited to, display information as time-ordered messages in an interactive “chat-like” view.

It is based on a REST API layer which uses the Loopback4 framework, and stores entries in a Mongo database to ensure flexibility. The User Interface relies on Angular. It supports facility-specific authorisation systems, thanks to its OIDC integration, and can automatically import new experiment proposals for a better user experience.

In addition to presenting the software, we will focus on its maintenance, use and infrastructure at PSI, mentioning its evolution and future plans.
