Breadth of data types
Analysis software:
- Must expect to find an infinite number of scientific data formats
(or types)
- Must be able to process metadata as data
- Only process a small set of data structures
In order to exploit the structural similarity inherent in most
scientific data, analysis software must be able to use metadata as data.
This provides a way to build a highly inter-operable data system.
