Yep, that's right. It's not about storing the data but to enable
interoperability between different scientific techniques.
Furthermore, I don't think it will be successful if we try to create
THE ONE ALLMIGHTY interchange data format specification. Many tried
this before and still try it, especially in my area:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_spectrometry_data_format
(JCAMP-DX, ANDI/AIA, mzData, mzXML, ...)
http://www.allotrope.org
IMHO ... they didn't reached/will not reach their goals as they are
either too specific or too generic.
The better way is how we do it - it's the bazaar strategy ... the
Eclipse bazaar. There are several shacks at the Science marketplace
... Matt and the DAWNSci shack, Jay and the ICE shack, Philip and
the ChemClipse shack ... and there is e.g. Tobias who likes to
combine the results of different analytical techniques (shacks) to
perform some statistic evaluations. He is getting the data from each
shack in a generic format bundled with the recipe how to read it.
That's why I really like the HDF5 approach:
https://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5
Now imagine how to combine data from shacks of different
marketplaces like Science, LocationTech and IoT. We can do the same
as before.
Best,
Philip

So we are not talking about data storage per se, but the
tools and libraries that make it possible? Something along
the lines of
"Data storage tools, libraries and associated
technologies to promote interoperability."
My concern is the size of scientific data sets so I want to be
explicit that we don't plan to store anything. I don't want to
put this line in the document and give them the feeling that
they could ask us to store a Petabyte of data.
