Introduction In 1993, HURIDOCS published their Standard Human Rights Event Formats (Dueck et al. 1993a) which describe standards for the collection and exchange of information on human rights abuses. These formats represent a major step forward in enabling human rights organizations to develop manual and computerized systems for collecting and exchanging data. The formats define common fields for collection of human rights event, victim, source, perpetrator and agency intervention data, and a common vocabulary for many of the fields in the formats, for example occupation, type of event and geographical location. The formats are designed as a tool leading toward both manual and computerized systems of human rights violation documentation. Before organizations implement documentation systems which will meet their needs, a wide range of issues must be considered. One of these problems is the structural problems of some data having complex relations to other data.

  • Xbase++ Language Concepts for Newbies Geek Gatherings Roger Donnay
    Xbase++ Language Concepts for Newbies Geek Gatherings Roger Donnay Introduction Xbase++ has extended the capabilities of the language beyond what is available in FoxPro and Clipper. For FoxPro developers and Clipper developers who are new to Xbase++, there are new variable types and language concepts that can enhance the programmer's ability to create more powerful and more supportable applications. The flexibility of the Xbase++ language is what makes it possible to create libraries of functions that can be used dynamically across multiple applications. The preprocessor, code blocks, ragged arrays and objects combine to give the programmer the ability to create their own language of commands and functions and all the advantages of a 4th generation language. This session will also show how these language concepts can be employed to create 3rd party add-on products to Xbase++ that will integrate seamlessly into Xbase++ applications. The Xbase++ language in incredibly robust and it could take years to understand most of its capabilities, however when migrating Clipper and FoxPro applications, it is not necessary to know all of this. I have aided many Clipper and FoxPro developers with the migration process over the years and I have found that only a basic introduction to the following concepts are necessary to get off to a great start: * The Xbase++ Project. Creation of EXEs and DLLs. * The compiler, linker and project builder . * Console mode for quick migration of Clipper and Fox 2.6 apps. * INIT and EXIT procedures, DBESYS, APPSYS and MAIN. * The DBE (Database engine) * LOCALS, STATICS, PRIVATE and PUBLIC variables. * STATIC functions.

  • The Alexandria Library, a Quantum-Chemical Database of Molecular Properties for Force field Development 9 2017 Received: October 1 1 1 Mohammad M
    www.nature.com/scientificdata OPEN Data Descriptor: The Alexandria library, a quantum-chemical database of molecular properties for force field development 9 2017 Received: October 1 1 1 Mohammad M. Ghahremanpour , Paul J. van Maaren & David van der Spoel Accepted: 19 February 2018 Published: 10 April 2018 Data quality as well as library size are crucial issues for force field development. In order to predict molecular properties in a large chemical space, the foundation to build force fields on needs to encompass a large variety of chemical compounds. The tabulated molecular physicochemical properties also need to be accurate. Due to the limited transparency in data used for development of existing force fields it is hard to establish data quality and reusability is low. This paper presents the Alexandria library as an open and freely accessible database of optimized molecular geometries, frequencies, electrostatic moments up to the hexadecupole, electrostatic potential, polarizabilities, and thermochemistry, obtained from quantum chemistry calculations for 2704 compounds. Values are tabulated and where available compared to experimental data. This library can assist systematic development and training of empirical force fields for a broad range of molecules.
