Built as a shared layer
- Sits above ELN, LIMS, and AMS systems
- Connects teams without changing day-to-day workflows
- Preserves provenance for every assay and outcome
Research-grade FAIR metadata infrastructure for preclinical research
Metadatapp solves one of the biggest bottlenecks in preclinical R&D: scattered, inconsistent, and poorly reusable metadata. It provides a unified, API-first environment that connects preclinical actors and standards through submission-ready metadata and exports (SEND, IND, IMPD) aligned with FDA, EMA, and ICH S11 expectations.
Export-ready by design
- Generates SEND, IND, and IMPD packages
- Traceable, audit-ready evidence
- Aligned with FDA, EMA, and ICH S11
What Metadatapp does
Metadatapp is an infrastructure platform built as layers, not a replacement for existing tools.
FAIR metadata layer (semantic, ontology-driven)
A shared metadata layer that standardizes preclinical evidence with controlled vocabularies, schemas, and provenance so data stays
reusable and audit-ready.
Interoperability layer (ELN, LIMS, CRO systems)
Connects the systems teams already use and harmonizes metadata across labs, CROs, and sponsors without changing day-to-day workflows.
Submission outputs (SEND, IND, IMPD)
Generates submission-ready packages with traceability, auditability, and consistency across studies.
Who benefits?
Platform teams
Interoperable JSON‑LD contexts; RBAC, audit logs, and one‑click exports.
Labs
Templates for common protocols, collaboration without spreadsheets, and 3Rs traceability.
CROs
Submission-ready outputs (SEND, IND, IMPD), standardized intake/outputs, and defensible SLAs.
Pharma & biotech
Submission-grade metadata and traceability that de-risks reviews for IND and IMPD packages.
Governance & auditability
Evidence governance
- Data governance with role-based access and audit trails
- Validation rules and provenance capture across studies
- Retention and integrity controls for audit readiness
Compliance outputs
- SEND-ready metadata and IND/IMPD traceability
- Audit-ready reporting aligned with FDA, EMA, and ICH S11

Standards & Compliance
FAIR Principles
- Findable: rich metadata/search
- Accessible: open protocols/auth
- Interoperable: JSON-LD and standard schemas
- Reusable: provenance and versioning. Learn more in FAIR-by-Design.
3Rs Alignment
- Reduction: optimize design
- Refinement: improve welfare
- Replacement: support alternatives
- Ethical oversight and compliance
FAIRRR
Any instance managed through Metadatapp will be FAIR and thus 3Rs aligned; data choices translate to welfare decisions.
