[Nexus] [Question] XAS data format with NeXus

[matumot at spring8.or.jp]

Hello,

I'm Takahiro Matsumoto from SPring-8.

Now I'm working on unification of XAS data format in JAPAN.
(SPring-8, KEK-PF, Aichi-SR,...)
For open data, we consider to deposit facility data into 
data repository prepared by data platform center in NIMS, Japan.

Current discussion is base on text format.
However, we may need to use binary format 
if we extend larger data with various detectors 
(fluorescence detection, mirco XAS etc.)
and NeXus will be appropriate option.

I would like to ask you to provide information 
about practical cases for XAS data with NeXus format.

I found templates for XAS below.

Nxxas: http://download.nexusformat.org/doc/html/classes/applications/NXxas.html

Nxxasproc: http://download.nexusformat.org/doc/html/classes/applications/NXxasproc.html#nxxasproc


But is this practically used in your facilities?

If you have information on XAS related data format with NeXus.
could you let me know for our discussion in Japan?

I contacted Benjamin Watts, and noticed
 Nxstxm can be used for raw XAS data for example.

I would appreciate for your help.
