Scientific Archive

Research data preservation is critical

• Data needs to persist for long periods of time (if not indefinitely)

• Data needs to be verifiable

• Content distribution for research collaboration can enhance the efforts of the scientific community

Examples of research data retention:

• A Research University’s requirements

• Filecoin’s proof of space algorithm helps to ensure data integrity during long retention periods as shown in the chart.

Filecoin already hosts a number of scientific research archives

• The Boxy Vehicles Dataset

• AVSpeech: Large-scale Audio-Visual Speech Dataset

• Google Open Images

• Udacity Self-Driving Car data

Targeting these large datasets can be a windfall, there is significant opportunities around data sets like the following:

• Climate research data

• Autonomous driving data

• Flight data

• Seismic data
