Ongoing Development of Nuclear Data Web Services

Past and present developments in nuclear physics research have generated a considerable quantity of valuable data. But while this data is publicly available, it still needs to be organized and distributed for anyone who wants to use it. The National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) is updating its web services to make low energy nuclear physics data more accessible. The most visible of these updates is a redesign of the front page and several important websites for more convenient navigation. This involves adding new banners and menus to better direct visitors to the data they're most interested in. To support these changes, the development process for web applications has been streamlined to encourage standardization and re-use of code. This new process has also enabled updates to web-based tools for data retrieval and calculation. Lastly, the NNDC is also branching out into social media outreach and mobile app development. A Twitter account provides opportunities to engage with current users and attract new ones, while mobile apps can provide portable access to NNDC data. Through continued development on all of these projects, the NNDC intends to keep providing its services to meet future data needs.
