Digital Science Library in Remote Instrumentation Systems

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the analysis of data management in remote instrumentation systems. Storage and management of significant amounts of data are crucial issues in every system where data need to be collected from different scientific equipment and next used to analysis or further processing. The authors propose their own solution, called digital science library (DSL), and analyze a specific implementation of DSL designed for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. DSL, based on the data management system, is a distributed data-access environment. Its main function is to store and present data in the grid environment. Moreover, results of the conceptual work are presented in this chapter, starting with the requirements specification and finishing with the architectural design.
