چکیده
e-Science requires mechanisms by which data of different types and sources can be communicated and understood between interested application scientists. Edikt have developed the BinX, a tool to aid this by describing binary data and its layout using an XML meta-data document. This paper will describe the BinX Language and Library, and discuss some current eScience applications that use BinX in the fields of astronomy, particle physics and meteorology.

Numerous large files of binary data store a wealth of e-Science information. Existing applications, in areas such as astronomy and particle physics, process the bulk of these files. To further our scientific knowledge, there is a strong need to share binary files among collaborating scientists and to use the data in new ways, such as data mining to discover new relationships and to identify dat...

متن کاملHUDDL for description and archive of hydrographic binary data
Many of the attempts to introduce a universal hydrographic binary data format have failed or have been only partially successful. In essence, this is because such formats either have to simplify the data to such an extent that they only support the lowest common subset of all the formats covered, or they attempt to be a superset of all formats and quickly become cumbersome. Neither choice works...
