Editor's Note: An apology to the Australian National Data Service (ANDS)
|
In the 2010 December issue of Lightspeed, our publication highlighted the development of the TARDIS/My TARDIS system; a software solution, developed by Monash computer scientists to make data more accessible, easier to interpret, verify and report.
The software solution was developed to assist the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and Australian Synchrotron in their efforts to store and manage the large volumes of data generated by scientific experiments.
While the LightSpeed article talked about the purpose of the solution, the collaborating partners and the benefits of TARDIS, it failed to mention the funder of the project being the Australian National Data services (ANDS).
The Australian Synchrotron would like to formally apologise for this omission.
