Generic event data model for HEP collider experiments

EDM4hep

A generic event data model for future HEP collider experiments.

Vector3f	Vector3d	Vector2i	TrackState
SimCalorimeterHit	RawCalorimeterHit	CalorimeterHit	Cluster
MCParticle	Vertex	ParticleID	ReconstructedParticle
SimTrackerHit	TPCHit	TrackerHit	Track
MCRecoParticleAssociation	MCRecoCaloAssociation	MCRecoTrackerAssociation	ObjectID

The tests and examples in the tests directory show how to read, write, and use these types in your code.
