Contributions

S.M. conceived the idea, designed the research project, organized the catalogue structure, collected metadata, wrote the first draft of the manuscript and coordinated meetings. D.M. designed the catalogue, co-wrote the manuscript and coordinated meetings. J.R. provided technical support, including sdRDM, GitHub pages and coding. Z.F.B., K.R., P.W., J.M.W. and P.J.H. contributed expert knowledge in biocatalysis, added content to specific subtopics, and commented on the catalogue and manuscript. R.W., B.N. and R.T.G. provided expert input and commented on both the catalogue and manuscript. K.P., P.C., A.S.B., J.M.R. and R.O.M.A.d.S. commented on and carefully revised the catalogue and manuscript. J.P. and C.K. made substantial contributions by improving and refining the metadata catalogue and final manuscript. D.R. conceived, designed and supervised the project, provided expert knowledge in biocatalysis, assisted with writing the first draft, and coordinated meetings. All authors contributed their subject-specific knowledge, reviewed the manuscript, participated in regular meetings to develop the guidelines and discuss the architecture and approved the final version of the manuscript.
