Data entry URIs

Data entry URIs specify where and how IMAS data is stored (or should be stored to). When you load or store IMAS data, you need to provide a data entry URI.

This page documents the URI structure and the options that are supported. For the complete official IMAS URI scheme specification, see the IMAS Access-Layer URI Scheme Documentation.

Data entry URI structure

The general structure of an IMAS URI is the following, with optional elements indicated with square brackets:

imas:[//host/]backend?query

Let's break down each of the components:

  1. imas: this part indicates that this is an IMAS URI
  2. host when the data is located at another machine, you use this section to indicate the address of that machine. See the UDA backend section in :doc:`backends_guide` for further details.
  3. backend select the Access Layer backend. See :doc:`backends_guide` for the options.
  4. query the query consists of key=value pairs, separated by a semicolon ;. See :doc:`backends_guide` for further details.
