LIGO_LW: Java/XML for Scientific Data

Document #:

Document type:

Abstract:

This paper describes the XSIL (Extensible Scientific Interchange Language) system that connects scientific XML to a Java object model and powerful visualization. There is an XML format for scientific data objects, and a corresponding Java object model, so that XML files can be read, transformed, and visualized. We describe the Xlook object browser, which reads XSIL files and allows them to be visualized in tree-like way, with viewers including a chart widget and a sortable table. We describe how to customize the SML format, and build custom viewing components that are dynamically loaded by Xlook. All code is open-source, obtainable from http://www.cacr.caltech.edu/XSIL
