Abstract
Scientists need to ensure that their results will be managed for the long haul. Maintaining data takes big organization, says Clifford Lynch.
Data can be 'big' in different ways. National and international projects such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Europe's particle-physics laboratory near Geneva in Switzerland, or the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope planned for northern Chile, are frequently cited for the way they will challenge the state of the art in computation, networking and data storage.
