Description
The talk will present a discussion about how science is changing, results in data sets with an ever longer effective lifetime. Many of the current sky-surveys (and other mid-scale projects) generate data sets at a cost of tens to hundreds of millions of dollars, yet there is no coherent strategy to ensure the survival of these data sets. We will discuss the different factors related to long term data preservation, the technological changes, and the sociological changes in how data is used, including AI applications. We discuss how academic research can remain competitive in this era of extreme agility.
