Among other things, the cost of *reproducing* a calculation presumably generally drops over time, making me question the value of storing the model output vs. regenerating it. The geodynamo calculations are an exception because they were so expensive to generate.

We as a community have not agreed on metadata or other relevant information for finding data. So I fear we may end up with a pricy “write once, read never” system.
