[ccp4bb] diffraction image repository - follow up
Thanks to all who replied to my request for comments and suggestions about diffraction image repositories (LMJ Kroon-Batenburg, JR Helliwell, M vdWord, M Symmons, A Barty, T Terwilliger, T Fischmann and I Schlichting). cxidb.org, developed for the archiving of FEL data, was mentioned more than once. Apart from that, I got lots of good ideas but unfortunately not solution already in place (apart from Tardis, possibly). The project seems a bit more ambitious than I assumed initially. I'll keep my mind on it and report back when there is progress. Best. Andreas -- Andreas Förster Crystallization and Xray Facility Manager Centre for Structural Biology Imperial College London
[ccp4bb] diffraction image repository
Dear all, there has been ample discussion on this bulletin board regarding the benefits of making diffraction images available for published X-ray structures. I'm considering implementing a repository at Imperial College, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel or create something out of synch with the consensus. Are there any established solutions out there that I could modify? I know of Tardis. Are there alternatives? I have the following workflow in mind. After logging on and selecting "create new", the user will be asked to: - give PDB code - enter mandatory metadata through well-thought out mask - upload any number of datasets (native, SeMet, etc) - make existence of datasets or datasets themselves public Any suggestions would be appreciated.
