The discussion seem to point to a deeper question: how to enable crowd sourcing of the analysis of these kind of data sets? This may involve running of analysis code or maybe even manual work. What kind of computational infrastructure would we need to enable this? And how do we validate and

It seems to me that more than a computational infrastructure you would need an efficient way to coordinate a community (communication, resource (file, software?, ...) sharing and a common way of describing each used methodology and set of results in order to facilitate subsequent result validation
