Global cross-database search system for advanced X-ray analysis
What is it about?
X-ray absorption spectroscopy has a strong tradition of data sharing, as cross-referencing data enhances the detailed understanding of the obtained spectra. While physically integrating databases in various formats is impractical, a system has been successfully developed that allows cross-searching among Japanese, U.S., and European databases in cyberspace. This paper provides a presents a pilot case study along with future directions for data integration in synchrotron radiation science.
Why is it important?
By making X-ray spectra from around the world “findable” and enabling integrated use, a large knowledge base will be built, and data-driven science will be promoted.
