ICFA Study Group on Data Preservation and Long Term Analysis in High Energy Physics

High Energy Physics experiments initiate with this Study Group a common reflection on data persistency and long term analysis in order to get a common vision on these issues and create a multi-experiment dynamics for further reference. The objectives of the Study Groups are:
     *Review and document the physics objectives of the data persistency in HEP.
     *Exchange information concerning the analysis model: abstraction, software, documentation etc. and identify coherence points.
     *Address the harware and software persistency status
     *Review possible fundings programs and other related international initiatives.
     *Converge to a common set of specifications in a document that will constitute the basis for future collaborations.
Since August 2009, the Study Group is endorsed by
  ICFA (International Committee for Future Accelerators).

CERN Symposium on Data Preservation in HEP, CERN, January 7, 2009
 
The Symposium started with an address of Prof. Rolf Heuer (CERN Director General), underlining the importance of data preservation for the scientific research in high-energy physics: "Preserved data can improve the scientific return of the investment." [More]
The DPHEP intermediate report is released to arxiv:0912.0255 [More]
