Experimental database: “Cosmic PAH analogues”
Ø First concept in 2014 (T. Louge) but used technology was not
appropriate
Ø Revised concept in 2017/2018

36 Implementation of the PAH theoretical database in VAMDC
Ø 2008-2013: participation to the European infrastructure project VAMDC. Development of the XSAMS format for PAHs (Giacomo, Christine, Aude)
Ø 2013- : participation to the VAMDC consortium • Interface of the theoretical PAH database with the VAMDC portal (minimum set of data). • Installation of the database mirror in Toulouse (Tarbes)
37 VAMDC portal: query interface

38 VAMDC portal: query interface
https://portal.vamdc.eu/ vamdc_portal/home.seam
à Retrieve xsams (xml) file containing all information and accessible by code query à Because of the format, code query will not be affected by any update of the database web interface à Citation of original work is included (not only citation to the database) 39 VAMDC portal: query interface
Added values for general users and data producers à Retrieve xml file containing all information and accessible by code query à Because of the format, code query will not be affected by any update of the database web interface à Citation of original work is included (not only citation to the database) à Provide DoI associated with the query; contain a link to the query and the results (reproducibility) and list of original work
Added values and Constrains for database holders and data producers à Increase use of the database and original work (publicity) à Strict protocol about data management (reproducibility of queries) à Data curation (maintained and validated) à The database structure should take into account dictionaries for queries and XSAMS schema for answers 40 Perspectives
• Theoretical PAH database - Giacomo is the only current contributor and maintainer - Main difficulty is to develop tools to ingest data in the VAMDC compliant database • Tool for Nwchem data à ground-state general properties (geometry, energy, rot. cts, IP, … ) + harmonic vibrational analysis • For Gaussian, partially working tool, further development pending • For Octopus, nothing done yet. Codes are open source (sourceforge). Anybody can contribute. https://sourceforge.net/projects/qchitool/
à 4-6 months to develop and implement each tool of a web application developer with a minimum background in molecular physics/ spectroscopy
41 Perspectives
• Cosmic PAH database – Origin block - First block: mass spectrometry is the only one with a database structure thanks to one internship of OVGSO. - Testing without modification is on going (scientists; Hassan first; Nanocosmos team) - Upgrade towards a public version requires support from a web interface engineer (6 months)
- Development of the VAMDC node: possible technically but need resources. This is poorly supported (no INSU label).
42 Perspectives • Cosmic PAH database – Other blocks • First concept in 2014 but used technology was not appropriate • The scientific focus also got more structured. • The 2 blocks I. and S. require each 3 months assuming the same developer as the O. block à One engineer full time for one year (or half over 2 years)
