It might help (my) understanding to describe this project as consisting
of a set of services (scanning types, rastering, others?) that gathers,
transforms, and distributes data from/to instruments (possibly
represented as dynamic services themselves).

Hello,
Wayne and I are trying to figure out a project I have proposed. The project is designed to scan scientific hardware. I am having trouble explaining what the project is precisely and have had a go as follows:
Scanning allows experiments to be conducted by coordinating the operation of scientific instruments, for example motors or detectors. It sequences the movements of these instruments (or devices) in order to scan different parts of the experimental space. For instance you might scan a temperature controller to conduct an experiment at different temperatures or move a goniometer through a range of optical angles or combine both in a two dimensional scan. Scanning is useful as an open source project because the algorithms which complete scans during experiments are the same in many areas of research. Hardware is experiment specific so scanning algorithms can be used in many settings, wherever electronically controlled hardware does automated experiments.
What do people think of the explanation of the project? Jay Jay Billings has suggested that using the term 'rastering' would help in the explanation. What comments do you have to make this 'elevator pitch' easily understandable?
Best Regards,
Matt

Matt,
Thanks a lot for sharing this idea.
How exactly does can we think about that? Is it sorry for the analogy "CSI
style" where you put a little flag or marker (probably a virtual one) on a
device so you know what has to go where?
And how comes environmental data into play like temperature, pressure,
etc.? Is it the temperature, etc. before an experiment starts or are these
measurements you mentioned simply what the experiment gathers? Or both?
Again a bit of a trivial analogy could be a kind of "Thingiverse" for
scientific lab setups or hardware. Does that at least partially match what
you have in mind?
It sounds interesting, could certainly involve other areas and WGs like
LocationTech if you have to know the position and distance of devices from
one another.
