Re: [dddwg] DDDWG: Standards for metadata

Dear Wladek and Tom,

thank you for assembling an initial list of metadata parameters.  If I remember correctly, these are the data that all detector should record to allow for processing and archiving of the data.  For this, I would include a few more fields:

- date of data collection
- place of data collection (synchrotron + beamline or home source)
- detector name, model and serial number
- possibly sensor material and sensor thickness for parallax correction
- X-ray flux

At some point, some checksum mechanism to ensure data integrity might be useful.

All best.


Andreas

Hi DDDWG members!

As Wladek has mentioned, we have set up a small working group to develop standards for metadata for diffraction images. The members of the working group are Andreas Forster, Wladek Minor, and Loes Kroon-Batenburg.

Wladek has drafted a starting point for these standards and I have attached an edited version. Your comments are welcome and I have included emails for the working group members so that they can see your comments!

All the best,
Tom T
