Description
The CMS Dataset Bookkeeping System (DBS) search page is a
web-based application used by physicists and production managers
to find data from the CMS experiment. The main challenge in the
design of the system was to map the complex, distributed data
model embodied in the DBS and the Data Location Service (DLS) to
a simple, intuitive interface consistent with the mental model of
physicists analysis the data. We used focus groups and user
interviews to establish the required features. The resulting
interface addresses the physicist and production manager roles
separately, offering both a guided search structured for the
common physics use cases as well as a dynamic advanced query interface.
