Widely used by many HEP experiments to store documents to which multiple files can be associated
1. FLEXIBILITY1. Attach any type of file2. Associate documents to one another3. Categories are up to us
2. SEARCH ENGINE!1. Searches through the majority of fields

Test Group Findings
Overwhelmingly positive “It looks like this will be a great
resource”
Some changes suggested
Test Group Findings
•Topics slightly re-worded, 1 deleted
•New institutions, submitters & authors added
Changes
Test Group Findings
•For “Contact” – a place to easily store their detailsThis feature will be added externally from the database
• Better Help to Infrequent Users
Changes ☐
Modify help text to be more appropriate for our users
•Divide Topics – 2 levels Level A: Type of item (book, poster, teaching aid)Level B: Attributes (language, duration, target group)Will re-organize topics by adding 2 more parent topics
Test Group Findings
Changes☐•Control who can modify Document
Standing agreement-only modify your own documents
Use notification feature
If really still worried - we can make an e-group
•Define Key WordsTry to include terms in abstract and description of files
Could define a list of key words…but not really necessary as the search is so powerful
Test Group Findings
Changes
•Block ability to select some parent topics (e.g. Programmes)
Refer to “Welcome to EPPOG DocDB”
•Provide Separate Mandatory Field for “Purpose”Refer to “Welcome to EPPOG DocDB”Help to be updated
Help to be updated
Test Group Findings
•Copyrights
Issues on the Table
•Definition of “Best Practice”
•A name!
•Use of Extra Database for Exhibitions (?)
renting, hiring, buying, selling, lending and loaning science exhibitions

•Review your items, fill in the gaps
• Add your items, encourage your colleagues!•Present to ECFA in November 2010!•To have chance for support for web/maintenance, people must use it…now
•Discuss items on table copyrights, name, extra)

Together we can make it a success!
