Contribution
It presents the design and implementation of MCDB, a new database system for Monte-Carlo data, enhancing collaboration and data accessibility in high-energy physics.
Findings
MCDB is operational for CMS collaboration.
MCDB improves data sharing among Monte-Carlo generator authors and users.
Future development plans within CERN LCG framework.
Abstract
We present the Monte-Carlo events Data Base (MCDB) project and its development plans. MCDB facilitates communication between authors of Monte-Carlo generators and experimental users. It also provides a convenient book-keeping and an easy access to generator level samples. The first release of MCDB is now operational for the CMS collaboration. In this paper we review the main ideas behind MCDB and discuss future plans to develop this Data Base further within the CERN LCG framework.
