Re: [science-iwg] Review BoF EclipseCon


Did I miss anything being wrong with "org.eclipse.science"  or why would we prefer "scisoft"?

As a matter of fact, the term "SciSoft" (maybe not so critical for a Java sub-package, but still odd) seems to be used by a product or family of Astrological products already:
>Scisoft for Mac OSX Intel is a collection of astronomical software for Mac OS X Intel >10.5 and above. It is similar to the ESO Scisoft (http://www.eso.org/scisoft/) >distribution but is not an official ESO product. More information is available >at http://scisoftosx.dyndns.org.

If "scisoft" was a thought, I'd like to think about "science", in the end both would work, but trying to avoid clashes with other projects or commercial products seem to be in the interest of Eclipse where possible, see "Mylar" -> "Mylyn";-)

http://www.sci-soft.com/ is also a site with commercial products claiming to be around for the last 20 years.

Hi Matt,

that sounds reasonable. I like the idea to have the IDN notation
"org.eclipse.scisoft.xxx" and extension points for different
implementations. We should also include a section for algorithms.
Probably an export format extension point would be also fine to create
scientific images ready for publication e.g. with R or other tools.

org.eclipse.scisoft
     org.eclipse.scisoft.1d
     org.eclipse.scisoft.2d
     org.eclipse.scisoft.3d

org.eclipse.scisoft.ui
     org.eclipse.scisoft.ui.1d
     org.eclipse.scisoft.ui.2d
     org.eclipse.scisoft.ui.3d

Extensions:

org.eclipse.scisoft.supplier.savitzkygolay
org.eclipse.scisoft.supplier.firstdeviation
org.eclipse.scisoft.supplier.seconddeviation
...
org.eclipse.scisoft.ui.supplier.swtchart
org.eclipse.scisoft.ui.supplier.xygraph
org.eclipse.scisoft.ui.supplier.javafx

That's just an idea.


Best Regards,
Philip

I have a concrete idea of how this could happen and we can detail this in the documents. We would obviously start gradually so that the searches of license agreement can be performed on each API provided. In fact even more gradual than that - we should agree on interfaces of each module, I can provide the starting point for these too including examples of how to use the API. The APIs are elegant and powerful to use and I hope you will like them.
