Current work

The current work is organised either in special interest groups, which are spontaneous activities among the group or in projects, which are funded by third-parties and have their own processes.

Special interest groups

Following the RDA model, WG3 work is organised in Special Interest Groups or SIGs. A SIG is a group of people from different PaN facilities, working together on a particular topic of common interest. The SIGs have defined targets and report progress back to the WG3 meetings. More details on what SIGs are can be found in "What is a SIG?".

The current list of SIGs is the following:

Core Trust Seal
Direct DOI Data Access (D3A)
Data reduction

Core Trust Seal active

Coordinator: Andy Götz (ESRF)

Mandate: CoreTrustSeal offers to any interested data repository a core level certification based on the Core Trustworthy Data Repositories Requirements. This universal catalogue of requirements reflects the core characteristics of trustworthy data repositories. This SIG is working on supporting CoreTrustSeal adoption at PaN facilities.

LEAPS-INNOV (2021 - 2025)	LEAPS-INNOV is a pilot project aimed at kick-starting implementation of the LEAPS Technology roadmap and fostering partnerships between European light sources and industry. Workpackage 7, DATA, is focused on data reduction and compression, and aims to both develop new methods for data reduction and improve sharing of methods between our institutes and with industry. Information about the workpackage, including events and seminars, is available from the WP7 gitlab group.	ALBA DESY Diamond Elettra ESRF EuXFEL HZB HZDR MAX IV PSI SOLARIS SOLEIL
DAPHNE4NFDI (2021 - 2026)	DAPHNE stands for DAta from PHoton and Neutron Experiments and is a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for a National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). Its goals are to: Improve metadata capture through consistent workflows supported by user-driven online logbooks that are linked to the data collection Establish a community repository of processed data, new reference databases and analysis code for published results Develop, curate and deploy user-developed analysis software on facility computing infrastructure so that ordinary users can benefit from and repeat the analysis performed by leading power user groups through common data analysis portals.

ROCK-IT (2023 - )	ROCK-IT (remote, operando controlled, knowledge-driven, IT-based), aims to build a demonstrator beamline with a focus on automation of complex operando studies in catalysis research. It provides solutions to improve the efficiency of catalysis research, tailor-made, yet composed of generic building blocks portable enough to be applicable to a wide range of measurements.
