Dear All,
with regards to diffraction images storage (see also Androulakis et
al., Acta Cryst. (2008). D64, 810–814: "Federated repositories of X-
ray diffraction images"), I am all for it - one to be able to catch
fraud, but more importantly so structures can be improved in the
future and better data processing programs can be developed.
However, I would welcome a central repository or at least a central
organisation of local nodes, because I can see no local solution where
I am (probably other small macromolecular crystallography groups would
have the same problem). In fact, if someone would agree to "host" our
data I would be happy to upload datasets. For some datasets it would
even be useful if I could send the digital tapes, we don't have a
reader for them anymore and in that way we ourselves can have access
to our own data...
Greetings,
Mark

We put our raw data, plus metadata here: http://www.tardis.edu.au
JCSG also make data available, but I think its just an archive, with
little or no annotation
cheers

Dear Tommi,
I'm not sure whether 'test data sets part I' relates to the query
I mailed the other day but, in light of the recent posts
regarding fundamental literature, your suggestion seems an
excellent one.
Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places, but finding examples
of image sets exhibiting e.g., radiation damage, crystal slippage,
autoindexing failures or any of the aberrations shown in Phil
Evans' excellent scala tutorial seems difficult. Likewise for
examples of good and bad final-refinement maps. Making primary/
intermediate data available would benefit both students and
algorithm comparison/validation (e.g. measuring performance on
standard data sets is routine in data-visualization/image-
processing papers).

Also, i think that would be nice if this type of info could be put
on the web, part of the wiki for instance..
if there is some consensus to what works + the typical proteins
easily available.
