NEP/NP Collaboration PhoneBook

Intro

PhoneBook: Essential tool to keep track of Collaboration's records Reason for development: no opensource or commercial off-the-shelf products available on the market.. yet every HEP/NP collaboration needs one.

Features beyond Excel spreadsheet:

  • Lists of Institutions, members – each entity has a list of dynamic fields attached
  • Version-controlled: changes of all entity fields are recorded and timestamped, new fields added on a fly using UI
  • AuthorList Generators: APS, IOP, INSPIRE formats
  • Statistics: graphs for all fields, worldmap of all participating institution locations

Implementation:

  • Entities: Institution, Member, Field, FieldGroup
  • MySQL database backend (EAV model, schema-free) which has detailed historical information on every member of sPHENIX collaboration. New fields could be configured by admin on a fly without any service downtime or schema updates
  • Web-based UI: admin UI + user UI, rich set of features
  • Provides RESTful API for integration with other experiment tools like ShiftSignup, ShiftLog
