Discussion Group C4
From canSAS
Towards a common (multidimensional) data format and implementation
Discussion Leaders
- Andrew Jackson
Outcomes
- Discussion of the details of definition and implementation of the canSAS 2012 proposal / NXcanSAS
- The definitions of resolution needs work
- @Q_uncertainty – not good name, needs beefier definition that can include beam profiles and arrays etc.
- and intensity uncertainties need work!
- Multiple uncertainties – need definition of terms other than Idev (sigma) e.g. Iscalingerror
- Lots of good feedback to improve the definition and make it more usable
- This will be taken by the working group and the definition updated
- General conclusion was that we should work towards having the NXcanSAS definition adopted by NeXus
ACTIONS
- Uncertainty descriptions – Brian Pauw
- Cross checking of keyword/entry names against NeXus definitions and see where we need extra - DFWG
- Updates to definition based on feedback - DFWG
- Update documentation - DFWG
- Reference datasets - DFWG
- Reference/example implementations of readers & writers – DFWG & all (at least those who write software!)
- Work with NIAC to get NXcanSAS ratified as core application definition in NeXus - DFWG
