I'd be interested in a session on this. I could talk about experiences of versioning the human genome and the problems that causes. Now that the raw genome data is at the multi-petabyte level, we are also having to do distributed and replicated storage.

What do people think about having a brief session/discussion with
Rufus, Sören, and others on (emerging) technologies to support the
collaborative development of data? Covering, e.g.,

  * versioning / version control for data
  * synchronising between different (versioned) sources of data
  * requirements, examples, use cases, etc.

Also could include things like distributed storage, etc. Think it
would be really interesting to have a session on the state of play
here!
