Preparing for beamline experiments often requires providing sample information alongside the proposal, especially for external users who may not be present during the experiment. A standardized form based on a JSON schema simplifies this process: it minimizes follow-up questions through built-in validation and constraints, and directly generates a machine-readable JSON object. This object can be seamlessly ingested into the Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) or sample database, even if the ELN is inaccessible or too complex for untrained users.
The solution is a web-based application designed for both external and internal use. For internal users, a tablet-optimized interface offers guided data entry and direct submission to the ELN. By reusing existing JSON schemas from the ELN, no additional effort is required to maintain the web forms. The presentation will showcase a successful practical implementation of the solution, demonstrated through its application at the ELBE radiation source beamline at HZDR.
Technically, the application leverages json-editor [1], which extends JSON Schema with UI elements, ensuring a user-friendly data entry experience.
