6. CrystalGrid 2004 - - Southampton An Historical Perspective The collaborators “report” Beginning in 1972 the IUMSC generated a formal “MSC Report” series for all structures. Reports were printed and microfiched.

7. CrystalGrid 2004 - - Southampton An Historical Perspective In the mid-1980’s a database was established to track the samples (primarily) completed work.

8. CrystalGrid 2004 - - Southampton An Historical Perspective Developing the web delivery system Started in 1997 as a means to allow non-technical users to access tables and data. Graphics added to allow generation of images for end users.

11. What Next? We had made great use of the Internet to locate and access the final data, but what about the raw data? How could we use the Internet to effectively monitor and manage the data collection process?

12. CrystalGrid 2004 - - Southampton Web Access to Instrumentation Remote monitoring would allow efficient use of synchrotron time by allowing remote users to assist in the experiment. First use was simple video monitoring interfaces.

13. CrystalGrid 2004 - - Southampton Web Access to Instrumentation Successes led to collaboration with the Knowledge Acquisition Laboratory. Collaboration led to successful funding of Common Instrument Middleware Architecture (CIMA) project

14. CrystalGrid 2004 - - Southampton Web Access to Instrumentation Local SMART system utilized for testing of interfaces. It was obvious that we had been keeping data, but were we keeping all the right data? Did we really know enough about the data?

16. CrystalGrid 2004 - - Southampton Web Access to Instrumentation Did we really know enough about the data? The answer of course was no, but we are starting to understand what we really need to have complete confidence in the data we are saving.
