Abstract
The Durham High Energy Physics Database (HEPData) has been built up over the past four decades as a unique open-access repository for scattering data from experimental particle physics papers. It comprises data points underlying several thousand publications. Over the last two years, the HEPData software has been completely rewritten using modern computing technologies as an overlay on the Invenio v3 digital library framework. The software is open source with the new site available at https://hepdata.net now replacing the previous site at http://hepdata.cedar.ac.uk. In this write-up, we describe the development of the new site and explain some of the advantages it offers over the previous platform.
Highlights
The Durham High Energy Physics Database (HEPData), a unique open-access repository for scattering data from experimental particle physics papers, has a long history dating back to the 1970s
These are generally the numbers corresponding to the data points either plotted or tabulated in the publications, “Level 1” according to the DPHEP [1] classification, and HEPData is complementary to the recent CERN Open Data Portal which focuses on the release of data from Levels 2 and 3
The new site is hosted on a number of machines provided by CERN OpenStack and offers several advantages and new features compared to the old site
