There will be a workshop on Raw Image Formats in Structural Biology
to be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory on 22 May 2008.

Over the past 2 years, imgCIF has seen increasing use, and the interactions
among raw image formats for x-ray crystallography, neutron crystallography
and microscopy have started to be addressed.  This one-day meeting
will be a follow-up to the 2006--2007 imgCIF workshops at the summer
2006 ACA meeting, at BNL in May 2007, and in summer 2007 in
conjunction with BSR 2007 in Manchester and at the Diamond Light
Source. We will have reviews of the current status of imgCIF,
exploration of ways to move between imgCIF and NeXus using XML and
HDF and ways to work with microscopy and tomography images.

The morning will be used for presentations and the afternoon for
discussions and plans for the future.  There is no registration fee,
but space is limited, so registration will be required.  Lunch will
be provided.  If you are interested in participating, please email
bnl_imgcif_may08 at medsbio.org no later than 15 April 2008.

The new imgCIF workshop series has been funded in part by NSF, NIH and
DOE.
