CompF7: Reinterpretation and long-term preservation of data and code

• Functional areas
  • Public data (comes in many forms … HepData, public likelihoods, CERN OpenData, data for education/outreach)
    • Tools for generating annotated public data and software
  • Tools for combining results across experiments and frontiers
  • Tools for archiving and re-running the analysis (RECAST/REANA, … )
• Mandate
  • Define the stakeholders and consumers of the data and software
  • What are the needs/requirements of the stakeholders?
  • What resources are needed?
    • e.g. long-term storage with external access, infrastructure for preserving executable code, etc.
    • metadata infrastructure
  • What technologies are available or will be available, what is the technology evolution of these tools?
    • Discussed in common with CompF5: End User Analysis:
      • version control
      • Containers/VMs
      • proprietary software/licenses
  • How are/will the stakeholders use these technologies?
  • How are other science domains handling this topic?
  • What are the workflows that are used to combine results across experiments and frontiers?
  • What tools are used/needed by the stakeholders to combine results across experiments and frontiers?
  • What is the technology evolution of these tools?
  • What are other science domains using, what is industry using?
