Overview

• In an Open Access environment
• scientific outputs are openly available
• described by appropriate metadata
• in Institutional Repositories
• harvestable by OAI protocols
• Scientists can use the same infrastructure
• (here eprints.org software and an existing
  scientific portal service)
• to provide maximal open access
• to all their data, as well as their published
  articles
• raw data, intermediate calculations, final
  results
• in a searchable, accessible form
• BUT this is subject to ongoing investigation.

Crystallography workflow

• Initialisation mount new sample on
  diffractometer set up data collection
• Collection collect data
• Processing process and correct images
• Solution solve structures
• Refinement refine structure
• CIF produce CIF (Crystallographic Information
  File format)
• Report generate Crystal Structure Report
