The study group includes representation from all major high-energy physics collider-based experiments and laboratories, as well as computing centres and funding agencies. A major report was released in May 2012, greatly expanding on the ideas contained in a preliminary publication three years earlier, and providing a more solid set of recommendations, not only concerning data preservation and its implementation in high-energy physics, but also the future direction and organisational model of the study group. A brief description of the DPHEP Study Group and some of the key messages from the major report are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-02-14T12:00:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dphep study group", "data preservation", "high energy physics", "major report", "major high-energy physics collider-based experiments" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1219328, "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.3379S" } } }
