This sub-category is for sharing approaches to reduce the footprint of data storage and improve governance. Topics may include:
-
Long-term archiving and retention policies
-
Trade-offs between local storage, cloud, and national facilities
-
Data minimisation and clean-up strategies
-
Governance frameworks and compliance requirements
-
Funder and institutional expectations on data management
This complements HPC & Cloud Services (computing infrastructure) and End-user Devices & Lifecycle (hardware). Here the focus is on how data itself is stored, managed, and governed sustainably.
