Workflow definition and library development

Surveys equipment used for temperature measurement and dissemination at each participant — listing manufacturer, model, and documentation explaining current laboratory use.

Organises at least four workshops (in-person, hybrid, or remote) for the consortium on establishing remote communication with equipment to facilitate data gathering and analysis.

Develops workflow charts covering existing key workflows at JV, FSB, IMBiH, and NSAI — designed using an agreed format and supporting digital infrastructure for data gathering and analysis.

Determines a common framework for sharing developed resources across at least 4 participant labs and selects an adequate software repository considering compatibility and available resources.

Surveys participants who have already implemented databases at their institutes — identifying database structure and application.

Compiles a list of essential fields a functional database needs — raw data, analysis data, processed data, metadata, and associated DCC requirements — FAIR-compliant.

Produces a standardised database template and documentation stored in the repository from A2.1.4 — of an agreed database type for maximum compatibility with participant databases.

Designs and develops an API to the standard database to enable participants to integrate it with existing databases and link with project software libraries.

Coordinates integration of the API at JV/SMD, adoption of the database template at FSB/PTB, and database deployment in collaboration with IMBiH/UNIBL/UL — based on the outcomes of A2.1.1–A2.2.4.

Gathers new or existing software code from participants and organises it into categorised libraries covering distinct steps of the temperature calibration process.

Develops libraries for gathering administrative details and for generating DCCs — compatible with the harmonised DCC format from A3.1.3 and the verifiable-credential approach in A4.2.3/A4.2.4.

Develops libraries for data acquisition, temperature medium control, reference equipment selection, and measurement stability assessment — ensuring interoperability with common instruments identified in A2.1.1.

Develops libraries for data processing and uncertainty estimation — encapsulating calibration calculation algorithms and uncertainty budgets, consistent with ISO/IEC 17025.

Administers the software repository — quality, documentation, unit tests, dependency descriptions, and version control of all participant contributions.

Prepares validation plans for the libraries developed in A2.3.1–A2.3.4, then performs validation and produces a standardised validation report verifying functionality.

Places the software, validation files, and documentation in the repository for sharing across participants, and drafts a paper on the developed libraries and the shared-library approach.
