A presentation on the Data and Software Preservation for Open Science (DASPOS) project given by Michael Hildreth at the PresQT Workshop May 1, 2017 at University of Notre Dame.

Data and Software Preservation for Open Science, DASPOS, represents an initial exploration of the key technical problems that must be solved to provide appropriate data, software and algorithmic preservation for HEP physics results and datasets, including the contexts necessary to understand, trust and reuse the data. 

Forward-thinking efforts for preservation are necessary now in order to achieve the relevant parameters, analysis paths and software to preserve the usefulness of these rich and varied data sets. While the archiving of HEP data requires some HEP-specific technical solutions, DASPOS efforts create templates and a community for preservation that is useful across many different disciplines, leading to a broad, coordinated effort.
