This talk will take an in depth look at COD and how it can be integrated into the scientific workflow at photon and neutron sources. The talk will cover:
a) The COD founding principles (openness, scientific rigour, FAIRness, availability on-line)
b) COD history and development;
c) COD data collection, its scope, data definitions;
d) COD curation practices;
e) COD links with other...
The advancement of data-driven approaches in materials research emphasizes the critical role of data integration. In the realm of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS), effective data sharing and integration enhance the reliability of results, revealing intricate atomic-scale structures and electronic states. The MDR XAFS DB project, a collaboration among leading research institutes, leverages...
We summarize here different databases (DABAX, xraylib, DABAM) that have been
developed to support our activity in X-ray simulations over two decades. DABAX (DAtaBAse for X-ray applications) is a compilation of tables for x-ray applications. DABAX was created to unify the tabulated data for scattering factors, x-ray atomic cross-sections, refraction indices, structure of crystals used for...
Under DAPHNE4NFDI, the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reference database, RefXAS, has been set up. For this purpose, we developed a method to enable users to submit a raw dataset, with its associated metadata, via a dedicated website for inclusion in the database. Implementation of the database includes an upload of metadata to the scientific catalogue and an upload of files via object...
