 The Life-Cycle of Data typically starts with [synthetic data](#synthetic-data) used to prepare and plan for actual observations.
 While the observations are being collected, the dataset is continually growing and is in a dynamic state. Any data reductions that depend on the dataset as a whole will need to be re-run as more data is collected.
