DermExpoDB is a web-based database application developed by a German-Dutch consortium to collect and share occupational dermal exposure data. It implements FAIR data principles and offers tiered access to support exposure research and workplace risk assessment. The associated paper describing the system is a 948.7 KB PDF file.

Use Cases

• Developing dermal exposure models based on harmonized contextual data fields.

• Supporting occupational health protection research based on shared, FAIR-aligned data.

Strengths

• Developed by a consortium including the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) and TNO.
• Implements FAIR principles for research data sharing.
• Offers extensive contextual data fields and preserves data ownership.

Limitations

• The dataset's scale is limited to a 948.7 KB PDF document describing the database, not the raw data itself.
• Row count and column-level documentation for the underlying database are unknown.
• Freshness should be verified as the last metadata update was 2026-06-03.
