Introduction
Excitations data is measured by neutron or x-ray spectrometers, and gives us direct access to dynamic processes in matter. The connection of measurement to understanding often requires combining data from multiple spectrometers and input from theoretical modelling. At present these interfaces tend to be barriers that require special handling and expertise to be overcome, hindering the accessibility of multimodal analysis and knowledge extraction. We hope that by promoting excitations data and analysis standards we can reduce the barriers and improve the throughput and quality of spectroscopy measurement insights.
