| Abstract: |
Astronomy looks after its data better than most disciplines, and it is
no coincidence that the consensus standard for the archival preservation
of all types of digital assets — the OAIS Reference Model — emerged
originally from the space science community.
It is useful to highlight both what is different about astronomy (and indeed
about Big Science in general), what could be improved, and what is
exemplary, and in the process I will give a brief introduction to the
framework of the OAIS model, and its useful conceptual vocabulary. I
will illustrate this with a discussion of the spectrum of big-science
data management practices from astronomy, through gravitational wave (GW)
data, to particle physics. |
