polyDB

A Database for Discrete Geometric Objects
Andreas Paffenholz, TU Darmstadt
joint with the polymake team
  • database for discrete geometric objects
    • polyhedra, polytopes, cones, lattice polytopes
    • matroids
    • polyhedral and simplicial complexes,
      triangulations, manifolds
    • tropical geometry, polytropes

  • started in 2013
    • database extension for polymake
    • joint project with Silke Horn

  • now a separate project, still linked to polymake
  • database backend
    • MongoDB
    • JSON/BSON data for documents
  • web interface at polydb.org

: Aim
  • collect/preserve existing data in discrete geometry
  • human/automated access
  • standard open tools and data formats
    • universal access
    • persistence
    • integration
  • not bound to specific math software tool

  • separate data from generation/processing/computation
  • separate data from mathematical model
    • metadata describes content

  • credit for authors
  • references to original papers
