\section{Overview}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Current Theory Standards}
\begin{description}
\item[SimDB Data Model] Is the data model describing simulations, including protocols (software), experiments (simulations), and snapshots (time based output).
\item[SimDB] Will be a service specific for querying a database populated with objects based on the data model.
\item[SimDAP] Is a second generation DAL typed service interface, providing access to existing and virtual simulation datasets.
\end{description}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{SimDAP Goals}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Provide a service standard for retrieving simulation data
  \item Mimic other second generation DAL protocols (e.g., TAP, SSAP, etc.)
  \item Low technical overhead for implementation
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Important Data Model Elements}
  \begin{description}
  \item[Protocol] A piece of software (Enzo, Gadge, halo finders)
  \item[Experiment] (i.e., Simulation) the process of running a piece of software with a set of input parameters.  $Experiment \equiv DAL Collection$
  \item[Snapshot] Results of the simulation at some point in time. Could be in files or a database. $Snapshot \equiv DAL Dataset$
  \end{description}
