Versioning data and code, at the database and downstream #42

Open maurolepore opened 4 years ago

maurolepore commented 4 years ago

Who is the audience?

Everyone dealing with data at 2DII and beyond.

Why is this important?

The capability of going back to previous versions of the data by adding a version number ... is an absolute must ... Basically "analysts" need to be able to go back in time in terms of data & code.

Alternatively, the analysts would need to create a copy of the data for each project, which kind of works against our "improve the data structure & flow" work as well as can limit the capabilities to assess further things.

What should be covered?

Suggested speakers or contributors

Database admins, analysts, software developers should be present for the discussion to be useful.
