The following seems to fit with what several people have done or are in the
process of doing.
"ISAC Internet Workshop" Tentative schedule
1. The Internet and Information Access: Dave Coder
2. GOPHER and Cytometry data: Gunter Valet
3. Using the Internet Efficiently: Steve Kelley
4. The Purdue Cytometry Bulletin Board: Paul Robinson
5. The NFCR Data Repository: Robb Habbersett
6. Future Directions: disucssion & questions
We would like all attending ISAC to attend and bring your comments,
suggestions, and ideas of what is useful and where we should be going. One
area that has great promise is the Data Repository growing at the National
Flow Cyometry Resource at Los Alamos.
The idea of having a Data Repository arose from the need to have a common
collection of data that would help those writing analysis software verify
that their programs could properly read different flow data formats, and that
new analysis procedures give correct answers.
It is easy to extend this concept of a data repository to include a
collection of cytometry data (flow cytometry initially) that provides
examples of the diversity of flow cytometric applications from both
biological and technical perspectives. From the biological perspective, data
for different cells types, disease states, cell surface markers, DNA
contents, etc. would be available. From a technical perspective, data from
different acquisition systems and instruments would be present, along with
calibration data sets, and data sets that can serve as references for new
analytical and statistical procedures.
