EDM4HEP Discussion #7
EDM4HEP Notes
==================
Present: Andre, Gerri, Valentin, Frank, Martin, Clement
Introduction and General Points
-------------------------------
Progress update from Valentin (see slides):
- idea to move forward with an alpha version
- use a fairly complete EDM
- start out from pLCIO
- modify as needed
- links from Sim/CaloHits to raw hits
- should probably both be 1-many
- question: Is there something special needed to discriminate pileup/background and signal?
- this can be done following all the links in the objects, starting from the ReconstructedParticle all the way to the MCParticle
- should add some helper/utility methods to navigate the relation/association collections
- visualization with diagram:
- use UML notation
- DDSim: produces Sim{Tracker|Calorimeter}Hit Types
- Infrastructure:
- use /cvmfs/sw.hsf.org install area
- Documentation:
- start out with Readme.md
- add additional topic.md
- doxygen: check that podio generates right comments
## To Do Items
- VV: setup documentation publishing via travis and Github pages (a la LHCb)
- VV: develop a PODIO data service in Gaudi
- FG: add DD4hep plugin that writes EDM4hep
- discussion on dependencies
- for now assume optional dependency in DD4hep
- check why travis is not running
Next meeting:
- idea to have a weekly slot for the meeting
- then have alternating topics Key4hep and EDM4hep
- potential slot: Tuesday 11:00 Europe time
- propose this on both mailing lists
