1) data & tools are one: database alone is useless

raw data:voltscounts

+ software

data product =

ESA/NASA raw satellite volts

ESA/NASA useful product physical units

2) good enough to share, if good enough to publishtransparency to combat sloppiness, mistakes & fraud. No standardization yet.

3) Quality is a version control process

• Sharing will generate feed-back: version control becomes inevitable• update your own work• allow altered copies to proliferate

• Version control is common practice for• ISO 9001: doc, xls, pdf• Toyota Kaizen: keep on improving• Software engineering: windows update• … science is lacking behind anyway

We seek an open source software stack that can serve our needs today.

We do embrace new technology, but will not allow it to delay us from proper data management now.
