Motivation</h2>
<p class="" style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(23, 43, 77); font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
The goals of the meeting are to determine what areas of data archives we can collaborate on, and where we can share information, data and code. There is a lot of great work being done here with new technologies (as seen at the ADASS and IVOA meetings), and
it would be great to avoid duplicating effort. And of course we’re all interested in interoperability.</p>

<li class="">Exploring different technologies for storage and querying (SQL, noSQL, Hadoop, Elasticsearch, etc, what works and what doesn't)</li><li class="">Beyond Data Storage (What services should archives offer and what do they currently?)</li><li class="">Interoperability (incl. IVOA)</li><li class="">Tools (incl. access control and code-to-the-data)</li><li class="">User Interfaces and User Experience</li><li class="">Hardware (incl. cloud vs hosted vs hybrid)</li></ul>

The meeting will be a mix of talks, Birds of a Feather sessions, mini-workshops, a networking session, and a discussion about things to take away from the meeting and possibly report on at a future meeting. We are also planning a poster session, however the
posters would display the full stack of a participant’s data archive rather than research or projects.</p>
