天体物理学中的数字基础设施
Digital Infrastructure in Astrophysics
摘要:
天文学作为一个领域,长期以来一直鼓励发展免费、开放的数字基础设施(例如,国家研究委员会,2010年,2011年)。例子从使个人科学研究成为可能的简单脚本,到整个社区的软件工具,再到国家设施望远镜操作的数据简化管道。与我们今天更大社会的数字基础设施一样(例如,Eghbal 2016),几乎所有的天文学研究都依赖于由少数开发人员编写和维护的免费开源软件(FOSS)。与道路或桥梁的物理基础设施一样,数字基础设施需要定期维护和保养(例如,Eghbal 2016)。在天文学领域,维护现有数字基础设施的财政支持通常比开发新的数字基础设施的资金更难获得。维持天文学的数字基础设施对许多人来说是一个新的话题,可持续性挑战并不总是广为人知。
英文摘要:
Astronomy, as a field, has long encouraged the development of free, open digital infrastructure (e.g., National Research Council 2010, 2011). Examples range from simple scripts that enable individual scientific research, through software instruments for entire communities, to data reduction pipelines for telescope operations at national facilities. As with the digital infrastructure of our larger society today (e.g., Eghbal 2016), nearly all astronomical research relies on free, open source software (FOSS) written and maintained by a small number of developers. And like the physical infrastructure of roads or bridges, digital infrastructure needs regular upkeep and maintenance (e.g., Eghbal 2016). In astronomy, financial support for maintaining existing digital infrastructure is generally much harder to secure than funding for developing new digital infrastructures that promise new science. Sustaining astronomy's digital infrastructure is a new topic for many, the sustainability challenges are not always widely known...
