Dear Colleagues,

   Some of us are starting a new consortium to continue the work we have
been doing to achieve a consensus on interoperable approaches to
management of synchrotron data.  The consortium on Management of
Experimental Data in Structural Biology (MEDSBIO) will
collaboratively resolve the interface issues among multiple
structural biology data management protocols, including imgCIF, NeXuS,
vendor data formats, instrument control and signalling protocols, local
and remote experiment control protocols, etc. with the objective of making the
collection, transfer and archiving of data for experiments in structural
biology as efficient as practicable, and engage in related activities.

If you are interested in more details, please send email to:
