IPFS for Science
summary
IPFS uses content addressing and hashing so data is self-sovereign — links are self‑certifying, giving verifiability, resiliency and immutable versioning that actually works for reproducible graphs and assets. There are usable libraries and SDKs and prepackaged apps and services, and about half the room has tried IPFS tooling. Major gaps remain: institutional FIPS compliance, reliable DOI/provenance integration, orchestration for very large co‑hosted datasets, and clear workflows so archival and revalidation aren’t left to ad hoc scripts.
