Dear All,
following a lively and entertaining discussion at this year's DDDWG satellite meeting in Croatia, I feel that we should attempt to formalise some of the thoughts discussed. Therefore I enclose a starting point for discussion in a proposal at the bottom of this email. I feel very strongly about the need for advancement in this area and that the time is absolutely correct to initiate this. It has recently been pointed out that some institutions are already archiving raw data and defining sensible protocols for this seems incredibly sensible if not an absolute necessity for the longevity of such projects.
Please feel free to comment on the outline below - I would hope that we could come to some agreed position that could then be taken forward by the group leaders as representative of our collective feelings on the issue of data storage, usefulness and to
a certain extent future proofing.
I hope that I have managed to convey my ideas clearly and that the proposal makes sense. I am certain that there are aspects that need clarification and am equally certain that a large degree of finessing may be required before this can be taken to the next step. However we must start somewhere and condensing ideas from the meeting seems a good place to start.
Many thanks for your time, bye for now
Mike
The need for fully archived data is becoming more apparent and the them as they are mostly working towards something common in format.
