Toward Democratizing Access to Facilities Data: A Framework for Intelligent Data Discovery and Delivery

Abstract

Data collected by large-scale instruments, observatories, and sensor networks, i.e., science facilities, are key enablers of scientific discoveries in many disciplines. However, ensuring that these data can be accessed, integrated, and analyzed in a democratized and timely manner remains a challenge. In this article, we explore how state-of-the-art techniques for data discovery and access can be adapted to facility data and develop a conceptual framework for intelligent data access and discovery.
