Status of the International Stellarator/Heliotron Profile Database

The International Stellarator/Heliotron Profile Database (ISHPDB) is a community effort aiming at a concise documentation of experimental data and modeling of stellarator reactor relevant issues. ISHPDB extends the global stellarator confinement database ISCDB. ISHPDB is jointly hosted by IPP and NIFS [1]. The effort is structured by physics topics led by the acknowledged experts in their respective fields. A first inter-machine study of 1-d data as part of ISHPDB was given in [2] proving the concept of ISHPDB to result in significant progress. More extended inter-machine studies on high-β physics, impurity transport, edge physics, aspects of neoclassical transport and configuration dependencies will be given at this conference. This contribution focuses on a survey of the ISHPDB topical structure. The resulting requirements for physics oriented documentation will be summarized. A physics motivated quality assurance of the database will be discussed. A proposal for the implementation of an ISHPDB database schema compliant with existing tokamak databases and its interfaces will be introduced.
