  The data volumes stored in telescope archives is constantly increasing due to
the development and improvements in the instrumentation. Often the archives
need to be stored over a distributed storage architecture, provided by
independent compute centres. Such a distributed data archive requires
overarching data management orchestration. Such orchestration comprises of
tools which handle data storage and cataloguing, and steering transfers
integrating different storage systems and protocols, while being aware of data
policies and locality. In addition, it needs a common Authorisation and
Authentication Infrastructure (AAI) layer which is perceived as a single entity
by end users and provides transparent data access.
  The scientific domain of particle physics also uses complex and distributed
data management systems. The experiments at the Large Hadron Collider\,(LHC)
accelerator at CERN generate several hundred petabytes of data per year. This
data is globally distributed to partner sites and users using national compute
facilities. Several innovative tools were developed to successfully address the
distributed computing challenges in the context of the Worldwide LHC Computing
Grid (WLCG).
  The work being carried out in the ESCAPE project and in the Data
Infrastructure for Open Science (DIOS) work package is to prototype a
Scientific Data Lake using the tools developed in the context of the WLCG,
harnessing different physics scientific disciplines addressing FAIR standards
and Open Data. We present how the Scientific Data Lake prototype is applied to
address astronomical data use cases. We introduce the software stack and also
discuss some of the differences between the domains.
