  32. Programs as Community Resources:Data Derivation and Provenance • Most scientific data are not simple “measurements”; essentially all are: • Computationally corrected/reconstructed • And/or produced by numerical simulation • And thus, as data and computers become ever larger and more expensive: • Programs are significant community resources • So are the executions of those programs

  33. “I’ve come across some interesting data, but I need to understand the nature of the corrections applied when it was constructed before I can trust it for my purposes.” “I’ve detected a calibration error in an instrument and want to know which derived data to recompute.” Data consumed-by/ generated-by created-by Transformation Derivation execution-of “I want to apply an astronomical analysis program to millions of objects. If the results already exist, I’ll save weeks of computation.” “I want to search an astronomical database for galaxies with certain characteristics. If a program that performs this analysis exists, I won’t have to write one from scratch.”
