Does anyone have a recommendation for a free service that will accept and store data files for as long as possible (ideally forever)? I don't want to have to submit a paper, as with arxiv.org. I just want a place to store data. I did find this: http://easy.dans.knaw.nl/dms And they have a life sciences section. So, that's one possibility. Are there others? -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-222-9095, http://agent-based-modeling.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org |
How large is the data set? If <2 gigs (ZIPPED???), there are many sites with 2-5 gigs free. That said, I would not count on any site being around forever or even 20 yrs. out. And even if the site/servers are around, the challenge will be reading/restoring the data before it becomes Swiss cheese.

Yeah, I don't want to use anything that is likely to carry nefarious material, if possible. I'd like something professional, geared toward scientific data, preferably moderated. The normal option is just to put it on one of your own websites and then be sure to maintain that website/data until you're sure you no longer need it... then hopefully someone like archive.org may keep a copy of it. It just seems to me like this would be something the national institutes or labs would already provide. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-222-9095, http://agent-based-modeling.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org |

If you send the files out into space as light, they will last forever, as far as we know.

Sorry for mis-speaking. ;-) Storing it in light wouldn't work because the first dark object that reads it will destroy it for the rest of us. It seems like torrent style storage would be the best solution. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-222-9095, http://agent-based-modeling.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org |
