Main structural components available for the components that can be designed with the LabIMotion extension: a three different components types can be designed independent of each other and combined in a flexible manner. b An example implementation for the use of Elements (e.g. research process, material, device), Segments (e.g. detail 1 to detail 4), and Datasets. The levels correspond to the currently available levels in the main Chemotion implementation. E.g. in Chemotion exist “Samples” and “Reactions” (= Elements), additional information to Samples (= Segments) and Datasets (= Datasets), being therefore interoperably usable with the new LabIMotion extensions
