Overview
The CERN Analysis Preservation pilot project is developing a set of tools that support particle physics researchers in preserving the knowledge around analyses so that capturing, sharing, reusing and reinterpreting data becomes easier.
The CERN Analysis Preservation efforts focus on three pillars:
- describe aims at capturing the structured knowledge information about data analysis processes;
- capture aims at capturing the computing environment, the software code, the datasets, the configuration and other information assets used in data analyses;
- reuse aims at re-instantiating preserved analyses on a containerised computing cloud for the purposes of re-validation and re-interpretation.
