HepData reloaded: reinventing the HEP data archive

Buckley, Andy, Whalley, Mike

Understand

We describe the status of the HepData database system, following a major re-development in time for the advent of LHC data.

  • The new HepData system benefits from use of modern database and programming language technologies, as well as a variety of high-quality tools for interfacing the data sources and their presentation, primarily via the Web.
  • The new back-end provides much more flexible and semantic data representations than before, on which new external applications can be built to respond to the data demands of the LHC experimental era.
  • The HepData re-development was largely motivated by a desire to have a single source of reference data for Monte Carlo validation and tuning tools, whose status and connection to HepData we also briefly review.
