| This page is supposed to explain the underlying thinking behind our approach, which is mostly based on the principle that the ICE-D project is supposed to be a forward-looking research tool and not a backward-looking archive. It's buried in a relatively obscure corner of the wiki because the point of this project is to organize cosmogenic-nuclide data in a useful way, not editorialize about the philosophy of geoscience data management. However, some of this background is needed to answer fairly common questions about the project. | This page is supposed to explain the underlying thinking behind our approach, which is mostly based on the principle that the ICE-D project is supposed to be a forward-looking research tool and not a backward-looking archive.
