Chemotion and Herbie entail very complimentary features, both from a frontend and backend perspective, and thus jointly offer to seamlessly document the entire process chain from the molecular design to the engineering of components and plants. Therefore, a data exchange mechanism between these two ELNs would enable synthetic chemists, materials scientists, and engineers to create an interoperable and rich database. By providing an API, both ELNs fulfil the basic requirements for this endeavour.
