Immutability

Re: immutability. Agree that most people think of DOIs as immutable but also concur that there are several systems which allow data to be changed. If I remember right, OSF was also in this camp. A recommendation here then is if the data are not fixed, the it should be transparent when and how the data are changed. This could be done by documenting the update cycles or providing logs. We’ve likewise suggested articulation of release (and deposit) cycles for dynamic data as well.

Best effort storage

Re: best effort" storage for large datasets – that’s good phrasing.  Here we’ve suggested an extra documentation file that documents how users could get access, what the minimum time commitment will be, etc. We called it a description of remote data file (see template attached), but this has never caught on.
