Preface

Modern large-scale physics experiments generate a huge data stream,
measured in at least hundreds of terabytes. The time of their active
operation can reach several decades, and the amount of accumulated
data can exceed one hundred petabytes. In this context, the issue of
active and on-going management of data throughout their life cycle is
very important and highly topical.
The data management covers all aspects of the data life cycle, includ-
ing acquisition, collection, and storage; then simulation, processing
and analysis; and finally accessibility, dissemination (particularly
providing open access) and archiving as well as using data for educa-
tion and outreach purposes. Each stage has its own specifics, and in
general, they all involve the acquisition of new knowledge and sharing
of this knowledge with the scientific world.
The Third International Workshop of Data Life Cycle in Physics
(DLC-2019) held in Irkutsk, Russia, was devoted to discussing a wide
range of important practical issues related to data management
throughout their life cycle. It was attended by 18 scientists from Russia
and Germany, who presented 23 reports. The main focus was put on
various aspects of storing astrophysical experimental data and using
deep machine learning methods to analyze and process these data. The
use of accumulated data in education and knowledge dissemination is-
sues were also considered.
A total of 23 papers were submitted for publication, all based on stud-
ies originally reported at the workshop. These proceedings include the
14 best papers selected for publication by the scientific editorial group.
