Workshop -- imgCIF: The Management of Synchrotron Image Data

描述(由申请人提供)：在美国晶体协会(ACA)数据、标准和计算委员会的鼓励和合作下，正在组织一系列关于同步加速器图像管理的三个研讨会。第一期讲习班(2006年夏季讲习班)将与2006年夏季夏威夷ACA会议同时举行。第二期讲习班(2006-2007年讲习班)将在2006-2007学年期间在布鲁克海文国家实验室或附近举行。第三期也是最后一期讲习班(2007年夏季讲习班)将与2007年夏季盐湖城ACA会议同时举行。 2006年夏季讲习班将有两个目标：鼓励采用现有的IUCR图像数据标准imgCIF/CBF，以及如何通过新的新兴标准扩展这一标准，以实现最大限度的数据可携带性。如果第一次研讨会成功，与会者将带着一个明确的路线图离开，以便采用商定的方法实现数据可携带性。 2006-2007年研讨会的目标将是解决标准本身中的一些未解决的问题，并讨论和解决自2006年夏季研讨会以来在采用过程中遇到的问题。 2007年夏季讲习班的目标将是就新通过的标准对社区进行教育，并从制定过渡到维护和传播。 这三个讲习班将是标准开发人员和软件开发人员的工作会议，以帮助就数据格式和软件接口达成社区共识，以帮助用户在数据简化和可视化软件之间传输数据，所有三个讲习班都将向整个结晶界开放。鼓励软件开发人员、光束线用户、设备供应商和结晶学社区的其他成员参与。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): A series of three workshops on the management of synchrotron images is being organized with the encouragement and cooperation of the Data, Standards, and Computing Committee of the American Crystallographic Association (ACA). The first workshop (the summer 2006 workshop) will be held in conjunction with the summer 2006 ACA meeting in Hawaii. The second workshop (the 2006-2007 workshop) will be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) or nearby during the 2006-2007 academic year. The third and final workshop (the summer 2007 workshop) will be held in conjunction with the summer 2007 ACA meeting in Salt Lake City. There will be two objectives for the summer 2006 workshop: to encourage adoption of the existing IUCr standard for image data, imgCIF/CBF, and to map out the ways that this standard can be extended through new, emerging standards to achieve maximal data portability. If the first workshop is successful, the participants will leave with a clear roadmap to the adoption of an agreed approach to achieving data portability. The objectives of the 2006-2007 workshop will be to resolve the, hopefully few, open issues in the standard itself and to discuss and resolve problems encountered during the adoption effort since the summer 2006 workshop. The objective of the summer 2007 workshop will be to educate the community on the newly adopted standard and to move from development to maintenance and dissemination. These three workshops will be working meetings for standards developers and software developers to help achieve a community consensus on data formats and software interfaces to help users in transferring data among data-reduction and -visualization software, and all three will be open to the entire crystallographic community. The participation of software developers, beam line users, equipment vendors, and other members of the crystallographic community are encouraged.
