Development of a charged-particle nuclear reaction data retrieval system on IntelligentPad: CONTIP

A newly designed retrieval system of charged-particle nuclear reaction data (CPND) is developed on the IntelligentPad architecture. NRDF (Nuclear Reac tion Data File), which is a kind of CPND compilation, is applied as an exam ple. The authors designed the network-based (client-server) retrieval syste m. The server system is constructed on a UNIX workstation with a relational database; the client system is built on a Microsoft Windows PC using an In telligentPad software package. The system is called CONTIP, which is an abb reviation of 'Creative, Cooperative and Cultural Objects for Nuclear data a nd Tools on IntelligentPad'. CONTIP will be developed to realise effective utilisation of nuclear reaction data: (i) reproduction, re-edit, reuse, (ii ) circulation, coordination and evolution and (iii) knowledge discovery.
