Database Schema

Effort has been made to investigate and document database schema used in existing metadata solutions. The AMI and SAM schemas are individually documented.

Also available is a comparison document (v1.01), summarising metadata database schema for ATLAS (AMI), BaBar, CDF & D0 (SAM), CMS (TMDB and RefDB) and LHCb (Bookkeeping) (v1.01).
