Description
Do you remember which computer were you using in 1995? What were the favourite operating systems and programming languages in the ADASS community by then? The World Wide Web was just born, and it has changed everybody’s life to a point nobody ever imagined.
When ESA decided to build the ISO Data Archive in 1995, no one expected this would be the beginning of a journey towards establishing the ESAC Science Data Centre. ESA’s Digital Library of the Universe is now covering more than 30 astronomy, planetary and heliophysics missions’ science archives and associated data discovery portal (ESASky) and close integration into data exploitation platform (ESA Datalabs).
Information Technology is changing rapidly, and data archives also went through major changes over the last three decades, as well as their associated science data management hardware and software systems, being storage, databases, graphical user interfaces, data distribution, interoperability and now data exploitation through science platforms.
So, let’s go back in time and let me drive you in a 30-year journey through science data management, sharing the Lessons Learned along the way!
