Full Changelog: v0.1.0-alpha...v0.2.0-alpha

First release

This is the first release of the Liionsden platform. The key feature milestones are as follows:

Frontend web interface

• There is a web interface to add various entities to the database, including their metadata:
  • device (i.e. cell, module, pack...) specifications including constituent components made up of compounds
  • batches of devices of a particular device specification
  • experiments in which devices are measured
  • equipment that is used in experiments to measure devices
• It is possible to search through the above data, filtering on specific properties of the entities in the database.
• It is possible to upload data files in Biologic or Maccor file formats. These are automatically parsed and the data is saved.
• The frontend web interface makes use of bootstrap.

Backend features

• An Azure storage backend is used for saving and retrieving media files, including the implementation of SAS tokens to retrieve files from a private container.
• An object-level permission system is implemented, ensuring that contributors are able to view/edit/delete only those entities in the database that they should be able to perform those actions on.
• Users are granted specific permissions based on their role.

Next steps

Features that have not been implemented yet, which should probably be worked on next:

• User registration process, including e-mail verification and password reset process.
• Wider implementation of parsers: (i) testing current two parsers on different types of raw data file to ensure they are robust, (ii) writing of further parsers to take raw data files from different instruments.
