[science-iwg] OpenChrom - KNIME

[Philip Wenig <philip.wenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy,

as mentioned earlier, we luckily received a grant to combine KNIME and 
OpenChrom.

https://www.knime.org

Since Wednesday, Martin Horn from KNIME and I hacked a while to combine 
both tools. Good news - it works well, see attached screenshot. We are 
able to run in both modi:

OpenChrom inside of KNIME
KNIME inside of OpenChrom (screenshot)

Is this also interesting for other projects?

Sure, KNIME has some functionality in common with Triquetrum/Ptolemy. 
But there are also some differences, as far as I understand:

    * KNIME offers no support to control hardware devices - 
Triquetrum/Ptolemy does, am I right?
    * KNIME has a rich workflow editor, which possibly could be re-used 
by Triquetrum/Ptolemy.

Currently, KNIME is licensed  under the GPL.
I'd really appreciate if they would switch to EPL or even better, become 
a member of the Eclipse Science TLP.

@Matt:
DAWNSci was licensed in its early days under GPL too.
Could you make some statements why Diamond Light Source eventually chose 
EPL instead?


Best,
Philip
