1 Short (Re)introduction to the Conditions DB Activity

Introduction including the overall goals of the activity:
The main goal of this HSF activity is to provide a forum for cross-experiment Conditions Database discussions with as broad an audience as possible. By first discussing and documenting use cases and their associated functionality, one aim of the group is to then converge on an API specification with a reference implementation.

Speakers: Andrea Formica (CEA/IRFU,Centre d'etude de Saclay Gif-sur-Yvette (FR)), Andrea Formica (Université Paris-Saclay (FR)), Paul James Laycock (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))
