[okfn-discuss] Proposal for OKCon session/discussion: technologies to support the collaborative development of data

Sat Apr 10 17:12:35 UTC 2010

I'd be interested in a session on this.  I could 
talk about experiences of versioning the human 
genome and the problems that causes.  Now that 
the raw genome data is at the multi-petabyte 
level, we are also having to do distributed and 
replicated storage.
