HELPMI (HElmholtz Laser-Plasma Metadata Initiative) is a 2 year project of GSI, HI Jena and HZDR, funded by the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration, which addresses the problem that no data standard exists for ultra-high intensity laser plasma experiments, hampering the FAIR principles and associated emerging benefits.
Therefore, our goal is to
- Adopt NeXus base classes for LPA experimental data, starting from the example above, aiming for a definition
- Extend openPMD for arbitrary hierarchies like NeXus, making the standards interoperable
- Develop a glossary for LPA experiment data and infer the ontology, for automated validation and processing

Goal of the HELPMI workshop
- Present our latest developments and the current status of the project
- Gather input from the community and various facilities on their needs
- Discuss on the developed “Devices – Detectors – Components” Library
- Gather feedback, opinions and recommendations
- Discuss on the continuation of the metadata development beyond HELPMI
Contributing to the HELPMI workshop
We invite you to submit abstracts related to the workshop goals or the goals of HELPMI in general. Here, any contribution from communities interested in the definition of metadata standards, as well as expertise on the glossary and ontology definition, is highly welcome. Additionally, we are looking forward to any contributions from the laser-plasma physics community on data management at each individual facility or the handling of LPA metadata in general. The call for Abstracts will be open soon!
We are planning a hybrid workshop with both virtual participation via Zoom and in-person attendance, however, we strongly encourage everyone to participate on-site.
Organizational information
The workshop is free of charge. Neither HELPMI nor GSI will cover any expenses for travel and accommodation.
As the programme schedule has not yet been finalised, changes may still be made to the start and end times of the workshop.
The registration for the Workshop will start soon!
