contents The past decade has seen tremendous breakthroughs in computation and there is no indication that this will slow any time soon. Machine learning, large-scale computing resources, and increased industry focus have resulted in rising investments in computer-driven solutions for data management, simulations, and model generation. However, with this growth in computation has come an even larger expansion of data and with it, complexity in data storage, sharing, and tracking. In this work, we introduce ZnTrack, a Python-driven data versioning tool. ZnTrack builds upon established version control systems to provide a user-friendly and easy-to-use interface for tracking parameters in experiments, designing workflows, and storing and sharing data. From this ability to reduce large datasets to a simple Python script emerges the concept of Data as Code, a core component of the work presented here and an undoubtedly important concept as the age of computation continues to evolve. ZnTrack offers an open-source, FAIR data compatible Python package to enable users to harness these concepts of the future.
