No full textSlides used by Alex Henderson for the University of Manchester Open Research Conference 2024Title: FAIRSpectra: Enabling the FAIRification of Spectroscopy and SpectrometryAbstract: There is a growing requirement for data to be shared openly. This is now mandated by funding agencies including UKRI, Horizon, Wellcome and equivalent organisations around the world. Sharing data means that files must be readable by others, perhaps using different software packages, and their contents understood, ideally by machines in addition to humans. This latter aspect is ‘machine actionability’.The FAIR Guiding Principles – that data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable – are now recognised to be one of the cornerstones of Open Research. Organisations such as ELIXIR and the Research Data Alliance have published materials on how to generate FAIR data, but there remains an operational gap between these recommendations and how one should actually go about the task on the ground.FAIRSpectra’s role is to open a discussion about what the chemical analysis field requires in terms of file format support, and specifically the imaging modalities of spectroscopy and spectrometry. It aims to tackle issues with interoperability and reusability. This has been broken down into two areas of activity: open file formats and metadata vocabulary.This presentation will cover what currently exists, what is still required, and offers an invitation to all interested parties to get involved, share expertise, and become part of the solution

Agilent FTIR Mosaic Image File Reader
No full text<p>This MATLAB source code will read an Agilent FTIR hyperspectral mosaicked image file set.</p>
<p>Version 6. Release_1.0</p>
<p>Source code and further information is available here: https://bitbucket.org/AlexHenderson/agilent-file-formats/ Please check before use to see whether there is an updated version.</p>
<p>The Agilent (formerly Varian) file format consists of a number of files with extensions: .dms, .dmt, .drd, .dmd. This function will import that data into MATLAB.</p>
<p>The source code is licenced under the GPL v3 licence. This means if you change it, and release your new version, you MUST release the source code too. If you would like to use the code under different licensing conditions, please contact the author.</p>
<p>If you find this code fails for whatever reason, please let the author know using the issues section of the BitBucket website: https://bitbucket.org/AlexHenderson/agilent-file-formats/issues</p>

<p>Usage Information </p>
<p>% Function: agilentMosaic<br>
% Usage: <br>
% [wavenumbers, data, width, height, filename, acqdate] = agilentMosaic();<br>
% [wavenumbers, data, width, height, filename, acqdate] = agilentMosaic(filename);<br>
% [wavenumbers, data, width, height, filename, acqdate] = agilentMosaic(filename, keepme);<br>
%<br>
% Purpose:<br>
% Extracts the spectra from an Agilent (formerly Varian) .dmt/.dms/.dmd<br>
% file combination. Plots an image of the total signal.<br>
%<br>
% input:<br>
% 'filename' string containing the full path to the .dms file (optional)<br>
% 'keepme' vector of wavenumber values in pairs indicating the limits of regions to retain (optional)<br>
% <br>
% output:<br>
% 'wavenumbers' is a list of the wavenumbers related to the data<br>
% 'data' is a 3D cube of the data in the file ((fpaSize x X) x (fpaSize x Y) x wavenumbers)<br>
% 'width' is width in pixels of the entire mosaic<br>
% 'height' is height in pixels of the entire mosaic<br>
% 'filename' is a string containing the full path to the .dms file<br>
% 'acqdate' is a string containing the date and time of acquisition<br>
%<br>
% *******Caution******* <br>
% This code is a hack of the Agilent format and the location of the data<br>
% within the file may vary. Always check the output to make sure it is<br>
% sensible. If you have a file that doesn't work, please contact Alex.<br>
