However, these tools can only excel when trained on high-quality data formatted in a structured, machinereadable manner . Usually, laboratory experiment records are documented in varied ways by scientists, leading to complexities in retrieving and applying essential underlying metadata . With the advent of semi-automated reaction screening capable of running hundreds of reactions in parallel, the detailed and digital capturing of chemical reactions and procedures is becoming paramount. Consequently, there is a pressing need to close the gap between the laboratory and the data science worlds (Figure ).
