Data Preservation in High-Energy Physics
David South (TU Dortmund)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with
significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. At the
same time, HEP has no coherent strategy for data preservation and
re-use and many important and complex data sets are simply lost.
In a period of a few years, several important and unique experimental
programs will come to an end, including HERA, b-factories and Tevatron.
An inter-experimental Study Group on HEP data preservation and
long-term analysis was convened at the end of 2008. The seminar will
present the first conclusions and recommendations of the Study Group
in several areas: physics motivation for data preservation, generic
computing and preservation models, technological expectations and
governance aspects at local and international levels.
