I have just released a new version of NOMAD on GitHub. The version 3.4.0 brings the concept of datasets which is another huge milestone on the roadmap. I have been beta-testing the new features since September. Thus, I have got plenty of experience and thoughts that I can share here with you.
I try to keep up with something that it seems to become a tradition and release another major upgrade just before summer holidays. The new NOMAD version 3.3.0 brings couple of major upgrades.
It has a been a while since I made the last post here. Last autumn was generally busy with many things. Moreover, I entered few rabbit holes and it took me a while to get through and wrap everything into the new release. The version v3.2.2 brings only very small changes that can be seen from the user perspective. However, some rather substantial changes were done under the hood.
I have been swamped by quite few things right now. So, this is going to be only a very short post to mark another big milestone in NOMAD development.
We have been using NOMAD with datastore function on production server for over 2 weeks and successfully archived over 3000 experiments without any glitch. Datastore function now includes essential data search engine and data can be directly opened in NMRium. Furthermore, results of NMR data analysis can be stored back in datastore in NMRium format. All code currently running on our production server has been released on GitHub as version 3.1.0 and the documentation for server and spectrometer client installation has been updated.
Obviously, there is still a lot of work to build a system that would seamlessly take NMR data from inception to publication. However, the current state of development makes me think that this is just a question of time.
March was somewhat tough in many ways. So, it has been a while since I made a blog post. However, I have kept busy building NOMAD and made a decent progress with datastore function and NMRium integration.
I made quite decent progress in January and have some good news to share. So, here is another blog post. Let's see if I can keep up the pace and make one post every month. Although, at the moment it seems that February might play the other way round.
