 Furthermore, archiving data alone is close to useless, as this would mostly be mere numbers. Hence, storing appropriate **metadata** is imperative. Only thus we can pass the meaning of the data to future generations (or even our future selves). Those metadata should clearly describe in as much detail as possible (while being succinct at the same time) how and why the data have been obtained originally. Furthermore, archiving data alone is close to useless, as this would mostly be mere numbers.

-Nearly all data need to be processed and analysed in order to get insight and draw conclusions. Therefore, not only the data and accompanying metadata need to be archived, but as well both, the **routines used to process** and analyse these data and the complete **information of each individual processing and analysis step**. The latter are add another level of metadata. +Nearly all data need to be processed and analysed in order to get insight and draw conclusions.

 +Taken together, long-term archiving data that form the basis of empirical science requires both, **open formats** as well as **well-developed strategies** and established routines.
