Research Abstract	I have studied on technical issues which are raised when we are going to release data from a large-scale particle experiment with a high-energy colliding accelerator for open access ; in this field, such an open access to data is so far hardly realized. I have investigated every stage of data processing, from data collections to physics analyses, and have clarified possible difficulties against the open access. I have also surveyed methods for open access in the field of astronomy, versatile analysis tools for high-energy physics, and a relation to "data preservation", which means storage of data for future analyses.
