4 Some talking points from the September 2 meeting:
5
6 * Datasets as views/tasks (Pascal Vincent's idea): our dataset specification
7 needs to be flexible enough to accommodate different (sub)tasks and views of

10 * Our specification should allow transparent handling of infinite datasets (or
11 simply datasets which cannot fit in memory)
12 * GPU/buffering issues.
