Re: [science-iwg] OpenChrom - KNIME

Philip,

DAWNSci was never licensed under GPL. I never quite figured out why people went around saying it as our license was stated clearly on the web site that it wasn't.

I looked at KNIME when working at the ESRF but went what is now Triquetrum. At the time I looked at it, the plotting and part of the UI in KNIME was JFreeChart and Swing. Perhaps KNIME could use EAVP for plotting now?

Howdy,

as mentioned earlier, we luckily received a grant to combine KNIME and OpenChrom.

https://www.knime.org

Since Wednesday, Martin Horn from KNIME and I hacked a while to combine both tools. Good news - it works well, see attached screenshot. We are able to run in both modi:

OpenChrom inside of KNIME
KNIME inside of OpenChrom (screenshot)

Is this also interesting for other projects?

Sure, KNIME has some functionality in common with Triquetrum/Ptolemy. 
But there are also some differences, as far as I understand:

     * KNIME offers no support to control hardware devices - Triquetrum/Ptolemy does, am I right?
     * KNIME has a rich workflow editor, which possibly could be re-used by Triquetrum/Ptolemy.

Currently, KNIME is licensed  under the GPL.
I'd really appreciate if they would switch to EPL or even better, become a member of the Eclipse Science TLP.

@Matt:
DAWNSci was licensed in its early days under GPL too.
Could you make some statements why Diamond Light Source eventually chose EPL instead?


Best,
Philip
