Versioning of Data

l  Very good reasons for versions:

l  Corrections (firmware bug in sensor found late) l  Improvements (better calibration function found)

l  Extensions (in time or space)

Conclusion

l  Include Real World™ as well as Good Scientific Practise considerations in the Research Data Infrastructure architecture

l  One issue is timing:

-  Short timescale : Synchronous production of data & article -  Longer timescale : „Better“ vs. cited/used versions

l  We suggest to resolve the issues under the umbrella of the Research Data Alliance
