Welcome to the BAM Data Store documentation page.

The BAM Data Store is a central system for digital Research Data Management at the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM). It is a modified instance of openBIS, so this documentation page does not intend to replace the openBIS documentation, but rather serve as an additional source of information for BAM employees who use the Data Store.

Tutorials

The Tutorials are designed to guide you through the general and basic understanding of the functionalities of the Data Store. These are intended for learning the software in a first approach.

How-to guides

The How-to guides provide step-by-step instructions for a wide range of tasks. These are oriented for a practical application so you can use them as a fast entry point when searching for specific information.
