The NeXus data format
نویسندگان
چکیده
NeXus is an effort by an international group of scientists to define a common data exchange and archival format for neutron, X-ray and muon experiments. NeXus is built on top of the scientific data format HDF5 and adds domain-specific rules for organizing data within HDF5 files, in addition to a dictionary of well defined domain-specific field names. The NeXus data format has two purposes. First, it defines a format that can serve as a container for all relevant data associated with a beamline. This is a very important use case. Second, it defines standards in the form of application definitions for the exchange of data between applications. NeXus provides structures for raw experimental data as well as for processed data.

The application of the NeXus data format to ISIS muon data
Although originally designed by and for the use of the Neutron and X-ray communities, the flexibility of the NeXus data format makes it equally suitable for storing data gathered from µSR experiments. Furthermore, its use should open up the possibility of sharing software beyond the immediate muon community; giving access to the many tools that are already in existence for manipulating NeXus an...
متن کاملNCL: a C++ class library for interpreting data files in NEXUS format
UNLABELLED The NEXUS Class Library (NCL) is a collection of C++ classes designed to simplify interpreting data files written in the NEXUS format used by many computer programs for phylogenetic analyses. The NEXUS format allows different programs to share the same data files, even though none of the programs can interpret all of the data stored therein. Because users are not required to reformat...
متن کاملNeXus Software Status
NeXus is a joint effort of both the synchrotron and neutron scattering community to develop a common data exchange format based on HDF. In order to simplify access to NeXus files a NeXus-API is provided. This NeXus-API has been restructured and expanded to cover both HDF versions 4 and 5. Only small changes to the API were necessary in order to accomplish this. A foundation was laid to extend t...
متن کاملInteroperability between Bioinformatics Tools: A Logic Programming Approach
The goal of this project is to develop solutions to enhance interoperability between bioinformatics applications. Most existing applications adopt different data formats, forcing biologists into tedious translation work. We propose to use of Nexus as an intermediate representation language. We develop a complete grammar for Nexus and we adopt this grammar to build a parser. The construction hea...

The Nexus Data Exchange Format (NDEF) is an Open Sound Control (OSC) namespace specification designed to make connection and message management tasks easier for OSC-based networked performance systems. New extensions to the NDEF namespace improve both connection and message management between OSC client and server nodes. Connection management between nodes now features human-readable labels for...
