- AIDA 4.0 - The next release of AIDA will be 4.0. Since the major version number will be incremented we will not require strict backwards compatibility with the existing 3.3.* releases, but we will try to minimize and document incompatibilities.
- Geant4 Documentation - We will try to combine the existing Open Scientist documentation with the JAIDA/AIDA documentation for Geant4 into one set of documentation which clearly describes how to set up AIDA for Geant4. We should try to get all the Geant4 README files updated to point to this documentation, instead of containing often outdated information on a single AIDA implementation.
- Persistency
- AIDA implementations should support plain XML, zipped ASCII XML, binary XML, zipped binary XML. These files will all be called .aida files. Implementations will be able to read any files. When writing we will need to specify which format to use
- Currently we specify the file as xyz.aida, storetype=xml, with options compress=true/false
- We can add storetype=zip,fs (unzipped file structure), option binary=true/false
- We discussed storing partial AIDA objects, for supporting large clouds and tuples. Significant progress has been made on this issue.
