	Funding: * This work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344. #LLNL-ABS-632452 Product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture, to service and disposal. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) can be considered one enormous product that is made up of hundreds of millions of individual parts and components (or products). The ability to manage and control the physical definition, status and configuration of the sum of all of these products is a monumental undertaking yet critical to the validity of the shot experiment data and the safe operation of the facility. NIF is meeting this challenge by utilizing an integrated and graded approach to implement a suite of commercial and custom enterprise software solutions to address PLM and other facility management and configuration requirements. It has enabled the passing of needed elements of product data into downstream enterprise solutions while at the same time minimizing data replication. Strategic benefits have been realized using this approach while validating the decision for an integrated approach where more than one solution may be required to address the entire product lifecycle management process.

TUMIB05	ANSTO, Australian Synchrotron, Metadata Catalogues and the Australian National Data Service	database, synchrotron, experiment, neutron	529
	N. Hauser, S. Wimalaratne ANSTO, Menai, Australia C.U. Felzmann SLSA, Clayton, Australia
	Data citation, management and discovery are important to ANSTO, the Australian Synchrotron and the scientists that use them. Gone are the days when raw data is written to a removable media and subsequently lost. The metadata catalogue *MyTardis is being used by both ANSTO and the Australian Synchrotron. Metadata is harvested from the neutron beam and X-ray instruments raw experimental files and catalogued in databases that are local to the facilities. The data is accessible via a web portal. Data policies are applied to embargo data prior to placing data in the public domain. Public domain data is published to the Australian Research Data Commons using the OAI-PMH standard. The Commons is run by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS), who was the project sponsor. The Commons is a web robot friendly site. ANDS also sponsors digital object identifiers (DOI) for deposited datasets, which allows raw data to now be a first class research output, allowing scientists that collect data to gain recognition in the same way as those who publish journal articles. Data is being discovered, cited, reused and collaborations initiated through the Commons.

TUPPC005	Implementation of an Overall Data Management at the Tomography Station at ANKA	experiment, TANGO, controls, synchrotron	558
	D. Haas, W. Mexner, H. Pasic, T. Spangenberg KIT, Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany
	New technologies and research methods increase the complexity of data management at the beamlines of a synchrotron radiation facility. The diverse experimental data such as user and sample information, beamline status and parameters and experimental datasets, has to be interrelated, stored and provided to the user in a convenient way. The implementation of these requirements leads to challenges in fields of data life-cycle, storage, format and flow. At the tomography station at the ANKA a novel data management system has been introduced, representing a clearly structured and well organized data flow. The first step was to introduce the Experimental Coordination Service ECS, which reorganizes the measurement process and provides automatic linking of meta-, logging- and experimental-data. The huge amount of data, several TByte/week, is stored in NeXus files. These files are subsequently handled regarding storage location and life cycle by the WorkSpaceCreator development tool. In a further step ANKA will introduce the European single sign on system Umbrella and the experimental data catalogue ICAT as planned as the European standard solution in the PaNdata project.

TUPPC014	Development of SPring-8 Experimental Data Repository System for Management and Delivery of Experimental Data	experiment, interface, database, controls	577
	H. Sakai, Y. Furukawa, T. Ohata JASRI/SPring-8, Hyogo-ken, Japan
	SPring-8 experimental Data Repository system (SP8DR) is an online storage service, which is built as one of the infrastructure services of SPring-8. SP8DR enables experimental user to obtain his experimental data, which was brought forth at SPring-8 beamline, on demand via the Internet. To make easy searching for required data-sets later, the system stored experimental data with meta-data such as experimental conditions. It is also useful to the post-experiment analysis process. As a framework for data management, we adopted DSpace that is widely used in the academic library information system. We made two kind of application software for registering an experimental data simply and quickly. These applications are used to record metadata-set to SP8DR database that has relations to experimental data on the storage system. This data management design allowed applications to high bandwidth data acquisition system. In this presentation, we report about the SPring-8 experimental Data Repository system that began operation in SPring-8 beamline.

TUPPC035	A New EPICS Archiver	EPICS, controls, database, distributed	632
	N. Malitsky, D. Dohan BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	This report presents a large-scale high-performance distributed data storage system for acquiring and processing time series data of modern accelerator facilities. Derived from the original EPICS Channel Archiver, this version consistently extends it through the integration of the deliberately selected technologies, such as the HDF5 file format, the SciDB chunk-oriented interface, and the RDB-based representation of the DDS X-Types specification. The changes allowed to scale the performance of the new version towards the data rates of 500 K scalar samples per seconds. Moreover, the new EPICS Archiver provides a common platform for managing both the EPICS 3 records and composite data types, like images, of EPICS 4 applications.
