Actually the radiologists who manage CT and PET scans of brains do have
a solution, called DICOM, see http://medical.nema.org/. If we work
together as a community we should be able to do as well as the
rocket scientists and the brain surgeons' radiologists, perhaps even
better. -- Herbert

Apparently it DOES take a rocket scientist to solve this problem. Maybe the
brain surgeons also have a solution?

This is a good time to start a major crystallogrpahic image
archiving effort. Money may well be available now that will not be
avialable six month from now, and we have good, if not perfect,
solutions available for many, if not all, of the technical issues
involved. Is it really wise to let this opportunity pass us by?
The deposition of images would be possible providing some consistent
imagecif format was agreed.
This would of course be of great use to developers for certain
pathological cases, but not I suspect much value to the user
community - I down load structure factors all the time for test
purposes but I probably would not bother to go through the data
processing, and unless there were extensive notes associated with
each set of images I suspect it would be hard to reproduce sensible
results.
