So I would like to invite any comments or references on topics like: - Datastorage: What data do we need to store, how much of it and for how long? - Interoperability: Different data formats and programs and to make everything (not) work together. - Visualisation: What and how to visualise (and what does it show)? - Analysis: Storing tons of data is one thing but how to extract meaningful information from all that? What kind of analysis do we want to do? - Any other aspect that comes to mind. Please send emails to me directly, I will summarise.
