Sorry I can't make it -- it would be an opportunity to talk about the PNGJ
format -- a combined PNG/ZIP format that allows an image to hold all the
semantic information necessary to reproduce its underlying 3D model -- or
the JCAMP-MOL format, which Robert Lancashire and I are developing, that
allows a single file to hold both a set of spectral data and the 3D models
and related correlations that correspond to that.
