Research data management

Faster discovery. Fewer repeated experiments. More value from every dataset.

Talk to an expert
Research and development teams generate vast volumes of data. But too often, this knowledge is locked in isolated files, disconnected systems, or inconsistent formats, making it difficult to find, reuse, or build upon. 
 
Datavid helps R&D teams structure and enrich research data for speed, traceability, and long-term value, turning fragmented content into a living knowledge system. 

The discovery bottleneck in R&D

Siloed data is slowing innovation.

R&D organizations thrive on insights, but how research data is stored, accessed, and shared often creates bottlenecks.  

Teams repeat past experiments without realizing it. Literature reviews take too long. Institutional knowledge is lost when staff leave. And proving compliance is difficult without traceable documentation. 

You’ve likely seen: 

 

Thousands of research PDFs and reports stored on shared drives.

Risk of duplicated work and missed discoveries

Real-world proof

syngenta-1

FAIR metadata for scalable reuse.

Syngenta struggled with decades of valuable research locked in siloed documents and systems, forcing scientists to waste time searching for past work or unintentionally duplicating it.

Datavid partnered with Syngenta to: 

  • Enrich research content with standardized metadata and domain-specific terminology to ensure consistency and precision.
  • Build a semantic index with advanced search and discovery tools that connect studies, compounds, and concepts while reducing manual effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can Datavid help make research data FAIR and AI-ready?

Datavid structures and enriches research outputs - reports, CRFs, lab notebooks, and publications - into Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) formats. With semantic enrichment, metadata modeling, and knowledge graphs, your research becomes machine-readable and ready for AI-driven discovery, search, and analytics.

Why do R&D teams struggle with research data reuse, and how can it be fixed?

R&D teams often lose time repeating experiments or searching through siloed files because of inconsistent formats, missing metadata, and unstructured archives. Datavid solves this by harmonizing terminology, applying entity extraction, and building semantic indexes that surface prior knowledge instantly - reducing duplication and accelerating innovation.

How does semantic enrichment improve scientific discovery?

Semantic enrichment adds domain-specific meaning to research data by linking terms, compounds, methods, and concepts to controlled vocabularies and ontologies. This enables cross-study connections, graph-based exploration, and more relevant AI/LLM insights - turning isolated documents into a living, searchable knowledge system for science.
