JG reported for P06, 
- useful would be a browsable catalogue with processed data in form of thumbnails for each scan
- number of scans vary a lot, as example sometimes 1-2 minute, sometimes 1 big scan (“400 MB”, recorded over 10 hrs)
- metadata  at P06 are “static” data, when parameters do not change, all the other (meta)data (like motor positions) is written to their “data” (NeXus)
- problematic: the meta data quality depends on the user.
->Conclusion: Topic to be discussed and followed up in the general SciCat meeting

From the discussion we identified potential overlap of efforts between the Petra beamlines (P05, P06 und P08).
@demonstrator beamlines: Next week when Noel is back you can contact him to obtain your SciCat instance (best via rt system)
9.10. 23 Florian kindly agreed to give an overview for P08.
