CrystalGrid:
creating a global crystallographic system for small molecule crystallography
CrystalGrid is a joint effort by crystallographers and computer scientists from several countries to apply grid technologies to the field of x-ray crystallography. CrystalGrid will combine the efforts of the Common Instrument Middleware Architecture (CIMA) project, supported by the National Science Foundation Middleware Initiative, and the Reciprocal Net component of the National Science Digital Library. We are "Grid enabling" instruments as real-time data sources to improve accessibility of instruments and to facilitate their integration into the Grid. The Reciprocal Net provides a distributed database that will track both the raw data and the final crystallographic results for all participating laboratories.
