Description

For a variety of reasons, ARM data is reprocessed. This new iteration of the data replaces what was previously available. ARM communicates these changes to affected users through emails, DQRs and other means. However, it is not particularly easy to for a data user to determine if they have the latest copy of data or how it might differ from a more recent iteration. In this poster we present some examples of this issue and suggest a data version attribute being considered for ARM data.
