Document Databases

The document management system DoMa is designed to enhance the dissemination of information amongst R&D community sectors and is used by energy related R&D projects for the management of internal documents and the dissemination of public reports. Any type of electronic record (i.e. document, spreadsheet, graphic, etc.) may be stored. At the JRC, DoMa has been used to deploy networks for energy related R&D, specifically for nuclear energy and for conventional energy. DoMa

provides conservation, management and dissemination of documents
combines open access to meta information (e.g. title, author, abstract)
with controlled access to the actual files
allows pre-indexed full text search
offers delegated administration of documents and access rights

Engineering Databases

The European Commission JRC web-enabled materials database (MatDB) is oriented to international material standards and recommendations. It covers mechanical and thermo-physical properties data of engineering alloys at low, elevated and high temperatures for base materials and joints and includes irradiation materials testing in the field of fusion and fission, tests on thermal barrier coating for gas turbines and mechanical properties testing on a corroded specimen.

The Hydrogen Incident and Accident Database (Hiad-DB) is a European knowledge base and reporting regime to assist industry and authorities in better understanding the relevance of hydrogen-related incidents and accidents as well as the safety actions taken.

Data Catalogs

ODIN data catalogs provide an insight into the content of the scientific databases to which ODIN provides access. The data catalogs are largely unaffectd by the access level of the data sets (open-access, registered-access, and restricted-access) and so provide a complete overview of the content of a particular database. Presently there are two catalogs, both of which are specific to MatDB (the database of experimental data for engineering alloys). One catalog provides an overview of the data sets hosted by the application, while the other lists all the data sets that can be cited using the DataCite data publication framework. Presently, the former is only available directly from the MatDB application interface but will soon also be accessible from the ODIN front page.

ODIN : Online Data & Information Network for Energy

ODIN is the Online Data & Information Network of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) and provides data management services to the European energy research community. It contains engineering databases MatDB and HIAD plus the document database DoMa and other information related to European research in the area of nuclear and conventional energy.

The MatDB database application is made freely available to the European research community and through bilateral arrangements can be configured to serve the data management needs of individual research organizations. It supports open, registered, and restricted data access and modules for entering, browsing, and retrieving data. MatDB is also enabled for data citation using DataCite DOIs and its RESTful machine interface leverages interoperability standards for engineering materials data. For further information, please contact the ODIN web administrator.

Most ODIN applications and databases require you to login. If you do not have an account, please navigate to the registration page and complete the required details. You will then have immediate access to the public areas of ODIN.

Note: it is recommended that you access the online data retrieval tools using an up-to-date version of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Apple Safari. Your browser will need to be enabled for Cookies and JavaScript. Certain pages also require Adobe Flash to be present. The installer is available from Get Flash.
