Re: [dddwg] Rovinj workshop programme

Dear Brian,

sorry for the delay in answering but I have just got back from holidays. 
Here is the title and abstract for my talk in Rovinj:

Title: Towards a generalised approach for defining, organising and 
storing metadata from all experiments at the ESRF

Abstract:

After more than 20 years of operation the situation concerning metadata 
at the ESRF is still very disparate between beamlines.
The way the metadata required to analyse the raw data are defined and 
collected depends largely on the beamline concerned.
Approaches vary from fully automated solutions implemented on the MX 
beamlines to a combination of automated and manual
collection of metadata. This talk will not present the solution for MX 
(see talk by Gordon Leonard for more info) but will present
a new approach for automating the collection and storing of well defined 
metadata for all experiments. The solution is based on
a generic tool built at the ESRF which uses HDF5 for file format, Nexus 
for definitions (where possible) and icat for the metadata
catalogue. The talk will present concrete examples of its use for nano 
tomography and fluorescence and radiation therapy.
Ongoing work on how this will be extended to small angle scattering, 
coherent diffraction and eventually all other techniques
will be presented. The talk will conclude with a discussion on the role 
of metadata in data policy and management.

The time of 25' for the talk and questions is OK for me. I have attached 
a profile picture for the online program.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more info from me.

Kind regards

Andy
