The data which are shared publically should remain unchanged once they have been released. Projects which are longitudinal or are comprised of large cohorts may want to consider generating multiple seperates releases.
The data freeze process as applied for the Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) is computationally expensive -- multiple freeze generates duplicates of data. Alternative methods could be investigated (e.g. ZFS snapshots).

Consider developing a cost model of the platform to indicate to researchers the cost of snapshots carried by WIN. A cost model would also be useful for project and infrastructure grant applications.
