The MRD-GW report is available – comments solicitedWe've been funded, for the last year or so, to study the way that ‘big science’ projects manage and distribute their data, and to make recommendations for how they should preserve this into the future. This has culminated in a report which describes the way this is managed now (it's rather different from the way it's managed in other areas), some of the case for data preservation, and an account of the practicalities and costs of managing data on this scale.
