Basically what I need to do is manage data for

When you speak of instruments, do you mean physical measurement devices
or tests, scales, and ratings?
If you mean the former, I'd be at a loss to tell you whether Java is
suitable for automated reading of these instruments. However, I'm sure
someone has figured it out. I just don't know.
As for tests, scales, and ratings, which may or may not be uniform, I
think you'd find that WO would be very appropriate. If each experiment
has a set of uniform fields and then the variety of instruments
determine another set of fields for that experiment, you'll be very
keen on the object-relational mapping's capacity for inheritance.
And if I can continue to think that you're talking about tests,
ratings, and scales, I can vouch from my own work with non-profits,
where grants and government agencies have different reporting
requirements, and a particular program or participant will be funded
from a variety of these sources.
