2. NSD©2014 2 A vision for a “furniture able to enter and hold large amount of scientific information on microfilm...all indexed...all hyperlinked (or linked together by trails)...even supporting the idea of user-supplied links as well as user-supplied annotations...allowing public information to be privatized/customized...as well as private information to become public” (Vannever Bush and Memex, 1945) 19451995 2005 fragmentation of the scientific information space data, information and knowledge are scattered too much of the research are based on data from a single nation, carried out by a single- nation team of researcher and communicated to a single- nation audience only a fraction of data resources available online no common gateway or search system to the data lack of standardisation poor integration between data and metadata institutional, juridical and commercial obstacles
