ORAC-DR: A generic data reduction pipeline infrastructure
ORAC-DR is a general purpose data reduction pipeline system designed to be
instrument and observatory agnostic. The pipeline works with instruments as
varied as infrared integral field units, imaging arrays and spectrographs, and
sub-millimeter heterodyne arrays & continuum cameras. This paper describes the
architecture of the pipeline system and the implementation of the core
infrastructure. We finish by discussing the lessons learned since the initial
deployment of the pipeline system in the late 1990s.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in Astronomy and
