First imgCIF workshop (new series) at ACA 2006 Meeting:
WK.02 The Management of Synchrotron Image Data:
The imgCIF File System and Beyond
at the 2006 Meeting of the American Crystallographic Association
July 22 to July 27, 2006 in Honolulu, Hawaii
Herbert J. Bernstein, yaya@dowling.edu
Robert M. Sweet, sweet@bnl.gov
Sponsored by DOE under grant ER64212-1027708-0011962, NSF under grant DBI-0610407
and Area Detector Systems Corporation (ADSC)
and run thanks to the help and cooperation of the ACA, the ACA Continuing Education
Committee and the ACA Data, Standards, and Computing Committee
Oahu Room, 8:30 am -- 5:00 pm, Saturday, 22 July 2006
Sheraton Waikiki, Honolulu, HI
The pace of data collection and the volume of data collected at synchrotron beam lines is
increasing. The ACA Data, Standards, and Computing Committee is spearheading an effort to
improve the efficiency of the handling and storage of these data by encouraging the adoption of
common data formats and standard software interfaces. The goal of this is firstly to have the
data be self defining, therefore equally accessible to data-reduction and -visualization codes.
The second goal, for the purposes of secure archiving, is to provide a robust internal
documentation of the source of the data.
This workshop was the first in a new
series of three imgCIF workshops more...
Second imgCIF workshop (new series) at BNL after NSLS/CFN meeting:
Synchrotron Image-Data Format Workshop
Herbert J. Bernstein, yaya@dowling.edu
Robert M. Sweet, sweet@bnl.gov
Sponsored by DOE under grant ER64212-1027708-0011962, NSF under grant DBI-0610407. NIH
support pending.
There was a workshop on
data formats for synchrotron image data after the NSLS/CFN meeting
on 24 May 2007 at BNL in the Biology Dept Conference Room, Bldg 463,
starting at 9 am. Topics discussed included proposed extensions to
imgCIF, the use of NeXus, progress on software and the status of imgCIF at
Diamond and at SLS.
- Review of imgCIF and CBFlib
- Proposed extensions to the imgCIF dictionary
- Status of imgCIF adoption at SLS, Diamond, ...
- Future directions
- Discussion
This workshop was the second in a new
series of three imgCIF workshops more...
Third imgCIF workshop (new series) at BSR 2007 in Manchester and at Diamond:
The Management of Synchrotron Image Data:
Changes to the imgCIF dictionary and software, interaction with NeXus
Sponsored by DOE under grant ER64212-1027708-0011962, NSF under grant
DBI-0610407 and NIH under grant 1R13RR023192-01A1
There was a CBF/imgCIF workshop in two
sessions at BSR 2007 in Manchester and at Diamond.
The first session was in Manchester on Tuesday, 14 August. It
provided an introduction to imgCIF and
NeXus and a brief review of current progress.
The second session was at Diamond on Friday, 17 August to
discuss recent changes in the imgCIF dictionary and software and the
interaction with NeXus.
There was a great deal of progress in the year before the meeting. There was
a lot to report and a lot to discuss. Important topics included the handling
of the then new SLS detector miniCBFs, use of CBF at DLS, a proposal for
integration with NeXus and CBFlib performance issues.
This workshop was the third of a new
series ofimgCIF workshops more...
Fourth imgCIF workshop(new series) at BNL:
Workshop on Raw Image Formats
Over the prior 2 years, imgCIF had seen increasing use, and the
interactions
among raw image formats for x-ray crystallography, neutron crystallography
and microscopy had started to be addressed. This one-day meeting
was a follow-up to the earlier workshops, with reviews of the current status of imgCIF,
exploration of ways to move between imgCIF and NeXus using XML and
HDF and ways to work with microscopy and tomography images.
The workshop was held at Brookhaven National Laboratory on
22 May 2008.

Fifth imgCIF workshop (new series) in Osaka:
Informal Technical Discussions and Review of imgCIF Status for attendees
at the XXI Congress of the IUCr
in Osaka, Japan, on 26 August 2008.
This is a report on the fifth and final workshop in the new series of imgCIF
workshops that began with a workshop at the summer 2006 meeting of the
American Crystallographic Association. This workshop consisted of informal
technical discussions to follow up on some of the work done in the fourth
imgCIF workshop at BNL in May 2008 and on one-on-one discussions at the ACA
meeting in Knoxville, TN in June 2008. In addition to helpful discussions to
bring people up to speed on recent developments, the major products of this
meeting were agreements on a minimal set of required tags for a valid imgCIF
file and a magic number scheme to clearly identify imgCIF files that do not
provide this set of tags.

High Data-Rate MX Meeting at BNL Thursday 26 May -- Saturday 28 May 2016:
This was the first of a series of three meetings to be run in Spring and Summer 2016 on changes needed to existing major software packages for support of very
high
data rate macromolecular crystallography.
The first meeting was held at
Brookhaven National Laboratory, 26 28 May 2016, and was organized by
Herbert J. Bernstein of Rochester Institute of Technology, Nicholas K. Sauter of
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Robert M. Sweet of Brookhaven
National Laboratory.
The meeting had several sponsors: Funding from Dectris, Ltd of Baden
Switzerland to Rochester Institute of Technology, from the National Institute of
General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health under grant
3R01GM117126-01S1 to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, from the
Department of Energy Offices of Biological and Environmental Research and of
Basic Energy Sciences grants DE-AC02-98CH10886 and E-SC0012704, and
from NIH grants P41RR012408, P41GM103473, and P41GM111244 to
Brookhaven National Laboratory. The opinions expressed in this report are those
of the meeting participants and not necessarily those of the funding sources.
