Description
It is an ongoing challenge to adhere to FAIR data principles in experiments at the HZB EMIL endstations. Data reusability and accessibility are particularly hard to achieve with tiled databases on a segmented network architecture.
To remedy this, we are in the early stages of using a NOMAD oasis. NOMAD is a free and open source database packaged with a dynamic web client. It supports indexing with custom schema and can host analysis software ran from jupyter notebooks. The API allows bluesky output to be uploaded directly via callbacks or a tiled subscription and metadata can be pulled out of the documents or supplied from a sample questionnaire completed by the user at the start of the experiment.
In this talk I will share the current state of this project at EMIL, and discuss the potential improvements to user experience that NOMAD can deliver on our bluesky endstations.
