Automatic conversion of scientific data into canonical format

The purpose of the automatic conversion of scientific data into canonical format is to provide a link between raw representation of data and database schemas. On the basis of these concepts Web services are developed for automatic XML description. They describe structurally and semantically scientific data and the conversion of the raw data layout description into canonical form based on data semantics. The canonical form looks like a relational data model where efficient methods for storage and retrieval of scientific data have been used. This paper describes the implementation of the converter compiler of raw scientific data layout description into canonical format. Using canonical XML form we have achieved better standardization of the input for data manipulation and visualization routines and minimization of their number.
