Description
The demo shows two types of browser applications developed
on top of the gLite
metadata catalogue AMGA.
The first one is a generic database GUI which allows an
interactive exploration of
the metadata schema and entries plus the possibility to
issue SQL queries on the
catalogue itself.
The second one is a specialised version developed for the
LHCb experiments. In this
case the system has been tailored to execute the allowed
users' queries. This system
allows usage from other applications (as Ganga, the ATLAS
and LHCb grid user
interface) and via a GUI. This browser has also a role in
allowing seamless migration
from early LHCb metadata prototypes: the system can issue
the same queries on other
backend (XML-RPC Oracle prototype).
Both systems benefit from the main features of AMGA, namely
efficient
access to database backends and flexible security features.
