Data preservation and long term accessibility in high energy physics at the 2nd International Conference on Frontiers in Diagnostic Technologies in Frascati, Italy

Abstract

Recently there have been significant developments in high energy physics (HEP) data preservation projects while other large data volume experiments are now also facing for the first time insuring the long term accessibility of their data. In this presentation, the status of advanced HEP data preservation projects as well as the challenges and plans for projects newly facing this task will be presented. The continuing efforts to develop guidelines and tools, the justifications for these efforts and the state of discussions of more open accessibility of the data and how this is foreseen to be managed are included.
