Deploying and administrating the ATLAS Metadata Interface (AMI) 2.0 ecosystem

Abstract

ATLAS Metadata Interface (AMI) is a generic software ecosystem for metadata aggregation, transformation and cataloguing. Benefiting from about 20 years of feedback in the LHC context, the second major version was released in 2018. This paper describes how to install and administrate AMI version 2. A particular focus is given to the registration of existing databases in AMI, the adding of additional metadata and, finally, the generation of high level HTML 5 search interfaces using a dedicated wizard.
