Frithjof Karsch, Hubert Simma, Tomoteru Yoshie

TL;DR
The paper discusses the development of the International Lattice Data Grid (ILDG), a collaborative effort to enable sharing of lattice QCD simulation data following FAIR principles, emphasizing standards and interoperability.
Contribution
It introduces the ILDG framework, detailing its federated structure, standards, and recent progress towards enhancing data sharing and usability in lattice QCD research.
Findings
Successful implementation of a federated data sharing infrastructure
Adoption of common standards for metadata and services
Ongoing efforts to improve ILDG usability
Abstract
The International Lattice Data Grid (ILDG) is a community-wide initiative to realize the sharing of primary data from lattice QCD simulations according to the principles of FAIR data. We recall the basic concepts of ILDG as a federation of autonomous regional grids with common standards for (meta-)data and services, and report on current activities, progress, and plans to restore and extend the usability of ILDG.
