"For far too long, we have referred to our internal infrastructure—the interaction between data ingestion and processing systems, between databases and the pipeline of publications—as the agency’s ‘backend.’ As EIA decisively accelerates, it is now clear that this term was always a misnomer. Data is EIA’s center of gravity." -Administrator Abbey
