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

Working Group Co-Conveners

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?
