  2. News • As of 1st April, CCLRC and PPARC will merge to become STFC. • This doesn’t mean: • But rather: • Science and Technology Facilities Council • We think: • New agreements use STFC rather than CCLRC • New logo on the web site! • Our email addresses (@dl.ac.uk) will remain M.D.Winn, DL, March 28th 2007

  8. Python working party M.D.Winn, DL, March 28th 2007

  9. CCP4 Python Working Group Charles Ballard (coordinator) - CCP4 automation Martyn Winn - CCP4 Fei Long - Balbes Graeme Winter - DNA/e-HTPX/XIA Paul Emsley - HAPPy Ronan Keegan - MrBUMP Norman Stein - CCP4 automation [ Daniel Rolfe - HAPPy ] M.D.Winn, DL, March 28th 2007

  10. WP activities and status • First and only meeting: 6/7/05 • Central code repository: This contains MTZ and PDB reading routines in python (from the HAPPy) project, and the XIA 1 driver class (from XIA). All agree that a central repository of “common” code is desirable, but no agreement on what this is. • Smartie: Pete’s python utility for parsing a variety of log files • Programming styles: No agreements. Everybody agrees that a common look and feel is desirable, but no agreement on what this is. CCB’s recommendation: allow the current pipelines to mature and see how to streamline them if necessary STAB (23/11/06): There is currently no need to standardise the Python code or re-use it. M.D.Winn, DL, March 28th 2007

  11. XML working party M.D.Winn, DL, March 28th 2007

  12. CCP4 XML Working Group Martyn Winn (coordinator) - CCP4 programs Airlie McCoy - Phaser Fei Long - Balbes Graeme Winter - DNA/e-HTPX/XIA [ Steven Ness - Crank ] Charles Ballard - CCP4 automation Paul Emsley - Coot Ronan Keegan - MrBUMP [ Daniel Rolfe - HAPPy ] M.D.Winn, DL, March 28th 2007

  14. WP activities and status • Discussions with Avi on Bioxhit XML • - possible generic tags for citations, messages, etc. • MrBUMP outputs XML for processing by AgentX • XML is being used by pipeline developers. • Developers are talking to each other, but efforts otherwise independent. • No major overlap yet in XML content. • Variety of XML tools being used. • Top-down imposition of data model may hinder progress. • Feeling that inter-package communication will not be difficult. • Encourage sharing of tools and XML datatypes.
