Abstract :
Optical data storage is considered with respect to other data storage methodologies and a context is provided in which research in the area of innovative mass storage technology impinges on the market for optical data products. A case is made for some ´innovative´ research to include research topics which will help the optical data storage business in Europe in the next 7-12 years.
