Crossing the Curatorial Chasm - Lessons from the FACADE project

4th International Conference on Open RepositoriesThis presentation was part of the session : Conference PresentationsDate: 2009-05-19 01:00 PM – 02:30 PMThe FACADE project was tasked with developing a preservation strategy and program for proprietary, complex 3D CAD models used in architecture and design. In achieving this goal, the project created an expressive object model as an RDF ontology, wrote numerous curatorial applications to assist project comprehension and metadata creation, devised techniques for processing collections at large scale, and designed compelling visualization and discovery user interfaces. Actual instance collections were ingested into DSpace, and UIs manifested from them.Institute of Museum and Library Service

Track Extrapolation and Distribution for the CDF-II Trigger System

The CDF-II experiment is a multipurpose detector designed to study a wide range of processes observed in the high energy proton-antiproton collisions produced by the Fermilab Tevatron. With event rates greater than 1MHz, the CDF-II trigger system is crucial for selecting interesting events for subsequent analysis. This document provides an overview of the Track Extrapolation System (XTRP), a component of the CDF-II trigger system. The XTRP is a fully digital system that is utilized in the track-based selection of high momentum lepton and heavy flavor signatures. The design of the XTRP system includes five different custom boards utilizing discrete and FPGA technology residing in a single VME crate. We describe the design, construction, commissioning and operation of this system.Comment: 34 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Nucl.Inst.Meth.
