[Nexus] Nexish to nexus translator

[Brian Richard Pauw]

Hi all, 

We have several instruments that are producing information that is either stored in some sort of HDF5 structure, or produce data that can be translated into a basic HDF5-based structure. Our task was then to translate that into something closer to NXsas or NXcanSAS, so we can run it through our automated data correction pipeline. 

To make that process easier for various instruments, I’ve written a flexible program that can do such a translation workflow based on templates. The idea is that we can have templates set up for various conversions. 

I’ve written about the approach here. I would be very interested in knowing if there is general interest in further developing this or if this is too limited in application.

One persistent problem in the X-ray scattering community is the lack of data interoperability. This is exactly what kicked off the CanSAS collaboration 40 years ago, with the initial intention to m…
