TARDIS’ Internal Structure Thanks to Alistair Grant
Generic Parameter Support Thanks to Alistair Grant
Why Fedora wasnʼt suitable for large datasets.. HTTP Protocol Multiple / Large File Downloading Setup and maintenance Existing repository solutions at institutions.. Willingness / funds for libraries to store large datasets
Data - From Production to Publication Production Managed by an instrument/facility’s system, such as that at the Australian Synchrotron Processing ??? Data exists on researchers’ personal computers and is usually NOT managed in any standard, persistent way Publication Solutions exist for deposition of data into several sources. TARDIS currently solves for raw Px data
The Need for Data Management at Time Of Processing Processing
Also deployed at: University of Mebourne La Trobe University
Upcoming Features.. • Data ‘staging’ mechanism. MyTARDIS
Australian Synchrotron / ANSTO We’re now the ‘official solution’ for instruments at AS + ANSTO! ..so more instruments + facilities “TARDIS/MyTARDIS system for high-end instrumentation data capture (e.g. X-ray diffraction images) has been chosen by both the Australian Synchrotron and ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) as the platform for metadata capture. Congratulations to the developers of TARDIS/MyTARDIS: Monash University biochemist, Associate Professor Ashley Buckle and software engineer Mr Steve Androulakis. (Support received from the Monash e-Research Centre, the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative, the Australian Synchrotron and the Australian National Data Service).”
Australian Synchrotron / ANSTO • Test instances already receiving SAXS/WAXS and IR data… • New Authorisation Engine Enables Various Access Rules For: • Groups of users • People in specific locations (ip based) • Custom rules (such as embargo periods) • Powerful Search Interface • Generic search across all parameters by various rules • Discipline specific ‘canned’ searches • Easy Parameter Schema Definition • (in conjunction with Monash Metadata Store project) • Users to define new parameter sets • Coming in a later iteration.. • Advanced Parameter Editing • (in conjunction with Monash Metadata Store project)
Molecular Biology Auto-Processing Thanks Grischa Meyer
Upcoming Projects • RMIT – Microscopy • 9 Microscopes • New ‘Filter’ Module Functionality • RMIT eResearch Office – Heinz Schmidt / Ian Thomas • The Ian Wark Research Institute – Particle Physics • Instrument Linkage • University of SA - Ryan Green • Peter Mac Institute – Next Gen Sequencing • Instrument Linkage • Courtesy of VeRSI – Lyle Winton • APS Chicago?!
