Given those words, I would say that this is a fine data life cycle for us to adopt.

The data outputs of a science project are freestanding artifacts that must be maintained intact, secure, and accessible for future uses, foreseen and unforeseen, but archived or disposed of when no longer useful. Within this linear construct, many data maintenance feedback loops may be interpreted through this simplified model. Programs will plan next set of data acquisitions based on discoveries from the current one and would use lessons learned from data management to plan the evolution of data system for future datasets.”
