DELPHI data preservation board meeting
Participants: Chiara, Dietrich, Gerald, Jan, Ulrich (chair)
- Please take a look at the minutes of the last meeting. Let me know if I missed something or got something wrong.
Ulrich reported that he has created a bunch of merge requests to add DELPHI to the opendata portal. A preview is available at [1], however, patches have to be manually imported there by the Opendata team.
The current author list used is one of March 2000. There was a discussion about which one to take, since the author list has been a living thing, and may differ from paper to paper. Several options were discussed. We could take the list from the end of data taking, late 2000. The list also would not cover LEP1. What about people who were removed shortly after ? Jan proposed to go for 2 lists:
- List of final Higgs paper, DELPHI part for LEP2
- List of combined electroweak paper, DELPHI part for LEP1
Dietrich pointed out that according to the rules of the Opendata team, each DOI needs to be associated with a list of authors. This does not seem to be practical in our case, nor useful. Needed to get DOI, author list is by DOI. This needs a discussion with the Opendata team (Tibor, Pablo). It may make sense to arrange a Zoom call with them to discuss how to proceed with this. There is always the risk that by restricting ourselves to two snapshots in time may miss out certain people, specifically those which stayed on the list only for a short period of time.
Dietrich updated the team on the status of the creation of the data records. The most natural thing to do is to keep the nicknames we always used to identify sets of data, and associate DOIs with them. We have of the order of 14000 of these nicknames. The naming schema is not always consistent, mainly (as pointed out by Ulrich) for historical reasons. As an example, older nicknames do not include the beam energy used for simulations.Dealing with this requires sophisticated case by case studies, however, Dietrich said that this can be done, and he hopes to have something ready for review as early as after the weekend.
Chiara is about to check the Amaldi archives to see if they contain any of the missing documents. If there are any, these should be added primarily to the CDS DELPHI collection. DELPHI web pages would be updated as well, priority goes to CDS though since once there they should be kept long term while the future of the DELPHI home page is unclear at the long term.
