Collaborative Remote Access, Web Services and Some Virtual Reality for a Kappa Goniometer - a bit of an update - and maybe some other news Part of a collaboration between Adelaide University, Indiana University, James Cook University, State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, and the University of Sydney.
Ewald construction ‘capturing’ the volume of reciprocal space swept out by the area detector is displayed as the crystal is rotated with a virtual Kappa goniostat. [RSPACE - a reciprocal-space modelling tool. M. R. HARRIS and M. FITZGIBBONJ. Appl. Cryst. (1989). 22, 624-627]

The story of Data-MINX (well, some of it anyway … )
Data-MINX Services Wish List: • User friendly (intuitive) services to search, locate, access, move and preserve data (so something better than carrying data home on disks, following an experiment at a research facility). • ‘Seamless’ connectivity across resources (eg SRB/iRODS). • Move data to processing resources (inc. users home institution desktop) or repository services (eg GridFTP). • Collaborative/shared access to data; dynamic VOs (eg WebDAV). Collaboration services (eg Plone or SAKAI). • Single SIgn On (AAF or an interim provider). • Interoperability - search across national and international facilities (eg OPAL, ISIS and SNS). • Provide standard ‘interchange’ data format (contribute to development if need be). Aids processing, curation and software development. • Harvest as much metadata as possible/sensible, as soon as possible. • Remote access and workflow services.
