Mission & Concept

OpenData Tool is a technology demonstrator designed to evaluate if AI can reliably interpret research directories and draft high-quality metadata records with minimal user intervention.

Current State: This is a working prototype and proof-of-concept for automated RODBUK packaging, not a finished production product.

Read-Only Safety

Analysis is strictly non-destructive. The tool never modifies your original research files.

Expert Extraction

Specialized logic for LaTeX, DocX, PDF, HDF5, and DICOM (more formats in development).

Interactive Chat

Refine suggestions through simple dialogue. The AI learns from your clarifications in real-time.

Project Workflow

Guided Setup

Initial language selection and AI capability configuration (Google OAuth2). Settings are persisted globally.

Analysis Loop

Point to a directory. The agent injects field protocols and enters an iterative chat to propose metadata.

Refinement

Knowledge capture of lab-specific rules and final generation of the RODBUK-ready metadata package.
