Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies allow improved understanding of pathogens. In the upstream processing of generating genomic data, there is still a lack of process-oriented tools for managing corresponding meta data. In this paper, we provide a description of how a process-oriented software prototype was developed that allowed the capture and collation of metadata involved when doing NGS. Our question was: How to develop an interactive web application that supports the process-oriented management of genetic data independent of any sequencing technique
