Data Centric Concept
◎Data vs Computation● Data have been traditionally considered as part(input, out-
put) of computing● However, Data are more important to researcher than com-
putation itself
◎Typical Data Usage● Use results for analyzing and produce new data from those● Need to handle a lot of cases● Use legacy SW tools which are popular in each research area
◎What we need …● Data themselves contain meta information ● Data are eventually located on local file system automatically
and opened by legacy SW as they are● Allow user to manage data by their own way
