 This committee is chosen at the CCPN Assembly Meeting where all UK based NMR groups may participate and vote.The day-to-day work of CCPN, including the organisation of meetings and software development, is handled by an informal working group, coordinated by Ernest Laue at the University of Cambridge, which comprises the core group of staff and developers, as well as a growing number of collaborators throughout the world who contribute to coordinated NMR software development.The many different software packages available to the NMR spectroscopy community have traditionally employed a number of different data formats and standards to represent computational information.
