The mission and goal of the 'Laboratory Informatics Encyclopedia', otherwise known as [[LIMS]] Wiki, is to provide the [[LIMS community]] with an organized, documented, up-to-date, standardized body of knowledge (BOK) regarding all aspects of a [[Laboratory information management system|laboratory information management system]] (LIMS). The value and success of the LIMS Wiki (like any community wiki) is dependent upon the LIMS community contributing their vast knowledge through the creation of relevant articles and editing of existing articles where knowledge is absent.
#REDIRECT [[LIMSwiki mission]]
 
The explosion of the field of [[Laboratory informatics|laboratory informatics]] paired with the vast number of LIMS vendors and products — as well as LIMS' increased scope well beyond its original purpose of [[sample]] management to just about all facets of laboratory operations — has resulted in a wealth and variety of information not easily comprehended. This potential confusion frustrates LIMS customers and makes the already challenging task of successfully implementing and managing a LIMS even more difficult. It will be of great value to all in the community (including vendors, users, and consultants) to have a common vocabulary and understanding to facilitate communication, comparison, and product integration, providing maximum value to labs and maximum opportunity to LIMS vendors and consultants.
