(Victoria interop, 2006) |

Discussed in April 2007 SNAP meeting of core participants (up till then), Garching |
SNAP->!SimDB+!SimDAP |
|
|
formally announced in 2008 Trieste interop, agreed by "tiger team" before |
SimDB is a protocol for finding interesting simulation and postprocessing experiments and their results |
|
|

SimDB implements "queryData" part of "simple" DAL protocols |

"getData" part is implemented by SimDAP or custom services |

SimDB/DM represented in UML |
|
|
Follows decision in Cambridge interop 2003! |
SimDB/UML is self documenting |
|
|
SimDB/Note gives background and context, UML model is in principle sufficient (decision of core designers), presented in 2008 Trieste Interop |
SimDB/DM's UML stored as XMI document |
|
|
XMI is standard XML format for representing UML documents |
SimDB uses MagicDraw Community Edition 12.1 for the XMI |
