1. The TARDIS Framework A Federated Repository Solution For Raw Diffraction Datasets Steve Androulakis, Monash University, Melbourne Australia International Digital Curation Conference, 2010

4. Started in late 2007 Public Access to Raw Protein Crystallography Data Fedora Commons Based Federated Storage Protein Crystallography Specific Code

5. The TARDIS Framework Federated Data Storage TARDIS.edu.au Repository

6. TARDIS’ Internal Structure Thanks to Alistair Grant

7. Generic Parameter Support Thanks to Alistair Grant

9. Why Fedora wasn ʼ t suitable for large datasets.. HTTP Protocol Multiple / Large File Downloading Setup and maintenance Existing repository solutions at institutions.. Willingness / funds for libraries to store large datasets

10. Data - From Production to Publication Publication Production Processing Managed by an instrument/facility’s system, such as that at the Australian Synchrotron ??? Data exists on researchers’ personal computers and is usually NOT managed in any standard, persistent way Solutions exist for deposition of data into several sources. TARDIS currently solves for raw Px data

11. The Need for Data Management at Time Of Processing Processing

12. From Capture to Publication

15. Also deployed at: University of Mebourne La Trobe University

21. TARDIS: Internals Lightweight Architecture

23. 6 Datasets, 5140 Datafiles ~90GB

24. Data ‘staging’ mechanism. Upcoming Features.. MyTARDIS

25. We’re now the ‘official solution’ for instruments at AS + ANSTO!..so more instruments + facilities “TARDIS/MyTARDIS system for high-end instrumentation data capture (e.g. X-ray diffraction images) has been chosen by both the Australian Synchrotron and ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) as the platform for metadata capture. Congratulations to the developers of TARDIS/MyTARDIS: Monash University biochemist, Associate Professor Ashley Buckle and software engineer Mr Steve Androulakis. (Support received from the Monash e-Research Centre, the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative, the Australian Synchrotron and the Australian National Data Service).” Australian Synchrotron / ANSTO

26. Test instances already receiving SAXS/WAXS and IR data… New Authorisation Engine Enables Various Access Rules For: Groups of users People in specific locations (ip based) Custom rules (such as embargo periods) Powerful Search Interface Generic search across all parameters by various rules Discipline specific ‘canned’ searches Easy Parameter Schema Definition (in conjunction with Monash Metadata Store project) Users to define new parameter sets Coming in a later iteration.. Advanced Parameter Editing (in conjunction with Monash Metadata Store project) Australian Synchrotron / ANSTO
