Data model implementation in ITER data archiving system

Abstract

ITER’s CODAC archiving system currently manages three different sets of data: DAN, SDN and PON, that correspond with the three networks: Data Archiving Network, Synchronous Data Network, and Plan Operational Network. In this sense, ITER’s CODAC data archiving system has been implemented to manage a wide variety of complex types of data and to support multidimensionality, dynamic resolution, metadata embedded types with header and footer sections, or user defined composition of types. This work describes ITER archiving data model, how it is able to fulfill ITER data requirements and keys of its implementation.
