IceCube is a cubic kilometer neutrino detector located at the
south pole. Metadata for files in IceCube have traditionally been handled
on an application by application basis, with no user-facing access. There
has been no unified view of data files, and users often query the filesystem
to locate files. Recently effort has been put into creating a unified view in a
central metadata catalog. Going for a simple solution, we created a userfacing
REST API backed by a NoSQL database. All major data producers
add their metadata to this central catalog. Schema generation is identified
as an important aspect of multi-application metadata services.
