Bluesky Event Model Documentation#
A primary design goal of bluesky is to enable better research by recording rich metadata alongside measured data for use in later analysis. Documents are how we do this.
This repository contains the formal schemas for bluesky’s streaming data model and some Python tooling for composing, validating, and transforming documents in the model.
Where is my data?#
For the full details and schema please see the Data Model section. This is a very quick guide to where you should look for / put different kinds of information
Information about your sample that you know before the measurement → Start Document
What experiment you intended to do → Start Document
Who you are / where you are → Start Document
References to external databases → Start Document
The Data™ → Event Document
Detector calibrations, dark frames, flat fields , or masks → Event Document (probably in its own stream)
The shape / data type / units of The Data™ → Event Descriptor Document in the data_keys entry
Anything you read from the controls system that is not device configuration → Event Document
Device configuration data → Event Descriptor Document in the configuration entry
How the documentation is structured#
The documentation is split into 2 sections:
The User Guide contains documentation on how to install and use event-model.
The Developer Guide contains documentation on how to develop and contribute changes back to event-model.
