TL;DR
This paper presents the Online BookKeeper (OBK), a comprehensive online system for collecting, managing, and accessing Meta-data and logs in the ATLAS experiment, featuring a web interface for efficient data analysis and future extensions.
Contribution
Introduction of OBK as an integrated online Meta-data repository with a web interface, improving data management and analysis in the ATLAS experiment.
Findings
OBK effectively collects and manages Meta-data during data acquisition.
The web interface facilitates easy access and logging of experiment data.
Performance evaluations show OBK's suitability for high-volume data environments.
Abstract
In the context of the ATLAS experiment there is growing evidence of the importance of different kinds of Meta-data including all the important details of the detector and data acquisition that are vital for the analysis of the acquired data. The Online BookKeeper (OBK) is a component of ATLAS online software that stores all information collected while running the experiment, including the Meta-data associated with the event acquisition, triggering and storage. The facilities for acquisition of control data within the on-line software framework, together with a full functional Web interface, make the OBK a powerful tool containing all information needed for event analysis, including an electronic log book. In this paper we explain how OBK plays a role as one of the main collectors and managers of Meta-data produced on-line, and we'll also focus on the Web facilities already available.…
