IS33 Enhanced migration of RAW to NeXus data |
Detailed description |
desire to enhance the value of the dataset with additional information about an experiment that is not present in the basic data file, so as to enrich the dataset with representation information. |
Scalability Challenge |
Apart from the file size, volume of content challenges identified in IS29 for nexus files, the raw to nexus format migration tool can be customised to take into account of various other types of experiment data files in the process of the migration. However, the scalability challenge here is that for different instrument (specific to each facility), the other types of experiment data files vary signficantly. This makes it difficult to efficiently migrate large quantity of complex raw data files systematically. |
