2nd Workshop on Data Preservation and Long Term Analysis in HEP

26 May 2009, 08:00 → 28 May 2009, 18:00 US/Pacific

ROB Redwoods (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)

Homer Neal (SLAC)

This is a follow-up to the first workshop held at DESY. At this workshop we will have progress reports from the various working groups, status reports of preservation efforts at the various HEP experiments, talks on data preservation outside HEP, and preservation technologies. The goal of the workshop is to greatly advanced towards a final report to be presented at Lepton Photon 2009.
