[Xrays@aps.anl.gov] 2006 XSD Scientific Software Workshop User Survey

[Ward Smith]

Pete,


In regard to Scientific Software Workshop I would make the following points,


Common format for raw data (i.e. images); an initiative by the American 
Crystallographic Assoc has begun and will include as many different 
types of raw data as possible, not only crystallographic data. See for 
example WK.02 at
http://www.xray.chem.ufl.edu/aca2006/private/FebCFP.pdf


Data archiving - a major issue for some of us with large format CCD 
detectors - up to 36Mbytes every few seconds up to 200+ Gbytes per 24 
hours.
