HySafe Coordination Committee Meeting, October 18, 2005, Karlsruhe HIAD – Newsletter

HySafe Coordination Committee Meeting, October 18, 2005, Karlsruhe HIAD – development & operation (1) HIAD Characteristics The HIAD system stores its data in a relational database. JRC [1] will now (October 2005) start implementing the database structure in an Oracle RDBMS. Figure 1 portrays the JRC hard- and software infrastructure used to operate HIAD. [1] [1] The database implementation has been carried out by the JRC- Data Management and Dissemination Team. Data retrieval JRC will implement a web-enabled user interface for the retrieval of HIAD records based on Java server technology (J2EE), which retrieves requested data from the DB server, processes the data as required and then transfers data in HTML format to the browser of the end user..

HySafe Coordination Committee Meeting, October 18, 2005, Karlsruhe HIAD – development & operation (2) Data entry The first beta version of the HIAD structure Data Entry part has now been finalised. Figure 2 provides an insight of the HIAD Process for this version. This is an important step, as it is needed to start the COLLECTION OF DATA that will be inserted into HIAD to validate the HIAD Methodology and Process described in Deliverable 22 - HIAD Specification and definition of its contents, operation and structure. In February 2005, the first beta version will be launched.
