Data Service¶

What are they?¶

Data Services are the internal storage locations within Mantid. Each data service holds a list of objects that share a common base class (for example the Instrument Data Service can hold anything which inherits from instrument). Each item that is held is associated with a name that uniquely describes the object. This name is them used when the object needs to be retrieved, or for other operations such as overwriting it or deleting it.
