Archiving Scientific Data

Summary: Timestamp-based archiving for hierarchical XML data; elements stored once with compact version descriptors. Supports retrieving any version, queries on changes, and XML tooling; space overhead remains low vs diffs; benefits from standard compression. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
