Rise of the Allotrope Simple Model: Update from 2023 Fall Allotrope Connect.

ABSTRACT

The Allotrope Foundation (AF) started as a group of pharmaceutical companies, instrument, and software vendors that set out to simplify the exchange of data in the laboratory. After a decade of work, they released products that have found adoption in various companies. Most recently, the Allotrope Simple Model (ASM) was developed to speed up and widen the adoption. As a result, the Foundation has recently added chemical companies and, importantly, is reworking its business model to lower the entry barrier for smaller companies. Here, we present the proceedings from the Allotrope Connect Fall 2023 conference and summarize the technical and organizational developments at the Foundation since 2020.
