Creating a robust, extensible XAS data standard
James Hester · Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations and Advances · 2017
The ability to verify results given the raw data is fundamental to the integrity of research. However, the absence of computer-friendly standards for expressing increasingly complex XAS data processing and analysis pipelines means that assessing published XAS results is a laborious process. Attempts to create a suitable standard must cope with the dispersed nature of the XAS community, a variety of popular software packages and input formats, and differences in experimental, data reduction and analysis approaches.
