Photon and Neutron Data Infrastructure

PANdata brings together thirteen major world class European research infrastructures to create a fully integrated, pan-European, information infrastructure supporting the scientific process. PaNdata has recently concluded the FP7 supported project named PaNdata Europe strategic working group . PaNdata Europe, a pure support action, has developed a policy framework and laid the basic foundation for a sustainable data infrastructure, like an agreement on a data format standardization based on HDF5, design of a global authentication system or the layout of a software catalogue as a basis for generating automatic workflows. PaNdata Open Data Infrastructure (PaNdata ODI), another FP7 supported projected that started November 2011 with a kickoff-meeting, will take up these developments to create a federated open data infrastructure, seamlessly integrating the existing user and data management systems of the European photon and neutron facilities.
