Description

Providing users with remote and random access to structured data is emerging as an important challenge for user facilities in the next decade. Our peers in industry and in other scientific areas are building such services. Tiled is a solution tuned to the requirements of user facilities, applying web standards and widely-adopted technologies in numerical computing to address search, random structured remote access, transcoding between storage and access formats, authentication, and authorization. Tiled is an open source project, primarily developed by contributors from NSLS-II and ALS, deployed at facilities including APS and BESSY-II, and increasingly being explored for adoption at others.

This talk takes a broad look at the ecosystem of data and metadata services. It aims to place the goals of Tiled, and other projects like it, in context. This speedy review will touch on traditional file transport services, metadata catalogs, and on other structured data access services. It will explore their various goals and features; how these support practical data visualization and analysis during and after the experiment, archival and discoverability; and the goals of FAIR data.

Abstract publication I agree that the abstract will be published on the web site
