Consequently several data format conversion utilities are developed in-house to provide data connectivity between applications.
Each Data Converter plug-in can implement several data format end points allowing, amongst others, for the conversion to the internal EUDAQ format for the Online Monitor, to simple ROOT trees, or to LCIO which is used by the offline reconstruction software described in the following section.
This project applies several data collection formats, including data collection on paper, directly into netbooks and by accelerometer.
In 1993, for example, the CEN/TC251 WG3 (Comité Européen de Normalisation European, Committee for Standardisation, Technical Committee 251) reviewed several data exchange formats for healthcare applications.
This is primarily because we focused on the problem of literature recommendation and management; nonetheless, bibliographic data can be obtained in several major data formats as already described.
Having just a single input source for community annotations also significantly streamlined the quality control steps needed for each community submission to TAIR, because curators no longer needed to process incoming annotations in several different data formats.
Since its inception in 2002, the Proteomics Standards Initiative (http://www.psidev.info) has driven the development of a number of minimum reporting guidelines (called "minimum information about a proteomics experiment" documents) [ 3] and several standard data formats for the different data types relevant in proteomics.
It includes the information and logical rules to parse several different data format (to import or export) and to filter the exported data.
In contrast, the combination of several less complex data formats makes the required software more modular, maintainable and easier to evolve.
To conclude, the "BAU GIS" is a Programmable GIS system, which supports manipulation, analysis, and viewing of geospatial data and associated attribute data in several standard GIS data formats.
