Contextualization for the technique and the scientific domain

A variety of file formats are used in the research field of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and related techniques. The pynxtools-xps plugin of the pynxtools parsing library solves the challenge of how these formats can be parsed and normalized into a common representation that increases interoperability and adds semantic expressiveness.

pynxtools-xps, which is a plugin for pynxtools, provides a tool for reading data from various propietary and open data formats from technology partners and the wider XPS community and standardizing it such that it is compliant with the NeXus application definitions NXmpes and NXxps, which is an extension of NXmpes.
