Hi Frank,

The goal of DataVault is to centralize, preserve and provide persistent and reliable access to the simulation data generated from Einstein Toolkit.

Hopefully this helps.

Best,

Qian

What are the type of data you do target besides the waveform data? The

latter is important without doubt, but I could imagine a repository of

general simulation data could be quite interesting, especially if it

does contain a little more than the wave data, i.e. matter quantities

for simulations that contain those.

If this is still quite in the open (it did sound like that): what are

the constraints the project has, especially concerning disk space and

online bandwidth / data limits? And speaking of which: will it be

possible to run self-written analysis on existing data "close to the

data", i.e. without downloading it?
