Re: [science-iwg] Standalone data analysis application

Ian,

Thanks for sending this out. I have been swamped the past couple of days and didn't have a chance to check out your updates. That being said, no one here will shoot you down. Our community is all about supporting new ideas!

Hi all, in my Science Working Group mailing list correspondence of
20th July [1] I discussed my aspiration to produce a standalone, open
source, data analysis application.  I'd like to share my thoughts so
far, for critical review.

Before I get shot down, I'm keen to clarify that I'm aware of existing
analysis applications that are in the Eclipse Science eco-system - but
they meet a different requirement, for a different class of user.  I
require a higher level application that has an more accommodating
learning curve.  Having said that, there's a strong chance that the
Eclipse Science "prior works" could be exploited to great value in the
underlying architecture.

I've collated my thoughts into the presentation linked below [2].
Hopefully the UI mockups will be particularly enlightening as to my
use case/UI model:

For my near-term requirement I require only a small subset of the
capabilities contained in the presentation (which I should be able to
develop with a quick turnaround), but I'm keen to keep the broader set
of capabilities in mind in designing the foundations - to avoid
medium-term tears.

I'm happy and keen to answer any questions (and exploit any
suggestions ;-) ) you may have.

cheers,
Ian
