Description
Huge amounts of data are produced in high-energy physics
experiments. We need to use a metadata catalogue service to manage
these data and files effectively. AMGA is a gLite-metadata catalogue
service designed to offer efficient use to metadata for files stored
on the Grid. AMGA supports the various databases(Oracle, PostgreSQL,
MySQL, SQLite) connection and APIs of the various programming
langauges(C++, Java, Phython, Perl). And AMGA provides not only the
easy interface what look like linux file system but also the Native
SQL. This properties of AMGA mean that the almost of all High-energy
physics experiments can use AMGA very easily. And we can share the
data using the special features of AMGA that are replication and
federation. For that reason, the Belle II Data Handling system has
used AMGA. In this paper, we describe AMGA's properties in detail and
offer cases that use AMGA in each programming language.
