Scientific experiments at Diamond produce vast quantities of data. Storing sufficiently rich information about the experiment and associated samples (i.e. metadata) is essential to exploit the results. Providing effective tools for scientists to analyse the results is also essential to the scientific process.
This project is looking to integrate effective web based data visualisation tools for users of the Diamond facility. The solution proposed is to make use of a web based data visualisation tool developed by the MAX IV institute in Sweden. This tool is specifically designed to open, view and interpret a standard scientific data file format (HDF5/nexus). The challenge is to integrate this into Diamond computing infrastructure and its web based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
A successful outcome will allow Diamond's users to access state of the art visualisation tools as part of our standard toolkit. This will allow scientists to assess their results faster and more effectively than before, supporting the scientific research conducted at our facility.
Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron science facility, located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire.
