RTAG1 (Persistency Framework) February 2002

 

Documents:

bullet

Final report (5-APR-2002)

 

 

Chair: David Malon

Mandate:  

"Write the product specification for the Persistency Framework for Physics Applications at LHC.

bullet

Construct a component breakdown for the management of all types of LHC data.

bullet

Identify the responsibilities of Experiment Frameworks, existing products (such as ROOT), and as yet to be developed products.

bullet

Develop requirements/use cases to specify (at least) the metadata/navigation components.

bullet

Estimate resources (manpower) needed to prototype missing components."

Timescale

bullet

1 months for the initial report

bullet

2 months in total for the final report to SC2

Makeup: Experiment representatives, IT/DB, and additional members at chair's discretion

Members and experts:

    Rene Brun, Dirk Duellmann, Vincenzo Innocente, Pere Mato, Fons Rademakers

Guidance:

"RTAG may decide to address all types of data, or may decide to postpone some topics for other RTAGs, once the components have been identified.  The RTAG should develop a detailed description at least for the event data management.  Issues of schema evolution, dictionary construction/storage, object and data models should be addressed."
