4. Which has the greatest impact – nature or nurture? PSID: longitudinal data on 8000 families over 40 years Where are the brown dwarfs? NVO: Data from 50+ astronomical sky surveys and large-scale telescopes. Are current stresses on this bridge dangerous? Terabridge data set: Structure sensor data for real-time data mining, event detection, decision support and alert dissemination How does disease spread? PDB: World wide reference collection of protein structure information What is the impact of a large-scale earthquake on the Southern San Andreas Fault? Digital data from Southern California Earthquake Center simulations used for disaster planning and building requirements Research today Slide from Dr. Francine Berman's presentation Got Data? New Roles for Libraries in Shaping 21st Century Research Dr. Berman is V. President for Research, Rensselaer Polyt. Institute; Co-Chair of US Blue Ribbon Task Force for Sustainable Digital Preservation and Access

5. A world in transformation... Technology – a major factor of change Internet (instantaneous communication) Miniaturisation (pervasiveness) Virtualisation (information/data)

6. Science in transformation More intense/global collaborations between scientists, between machines across disciplines ICT Infrastructures enabling e-Science drivers of social transformations Impact of cyber-democracy – who can we trust? Information becomes an infrastructure

7. Science 2.0 – main trends (figure 1) […] The data availability landscape transforms because of interrelated major trends. The cost for accessing data has dramatically lowered: much of the useful statistics and more general data from (often publicly funded) research are now published and freely accessible in raw format on the web. […] much more data collected and archived today than ever before, and the volume is growing at an exponential rate […] reference: Science 2.0 (change will happen….) J.C Burgelman, D. Osimo & M. Bogdanowicz Scientific Data – Information cycle/continuums – Costs (associated with quality) – Roles and tensions between todays stakeholders – Scenarios for the future (High-Level Group on Scientific Data) Science in transformation

8. Meeting 21st Century Challenges strategic to embrace the e-Science paradigm shift and the strategic role of e-Infrastructures as a crucial asset underpinning European research and innovation policies e-Science benefiting from pervasive technologies for high- speed communication and information processing Science is global, e-Science even more so: 35% of articles in leading journals result from international collaboration (that was 25% 15 years ago) Data infrastructures are key enablers of e-Science

9. The Centrality of Research Infrastructures for Innovation

10. Information in the on-line ERA is the basis for e-Science produced in large volumes more complex expressions of knowledge not only human readable for machine-to-machine communication volatile but need for permanence traditional organisations adapting to manage data

16. The X-ray free-electron lasers will provide coherent radiation of the proper wavelength and the proper time structure, so that materials and the changes of their properties can be portrayed at atomic resolution in four dimensions, in space and time.

21. ERA 2030: ERABs STRATEGIC VIEW October 2009

22. An ERA driven by societal needs to address the Grand Challenges

24. Rising tide of data A fundamental characteristic of our age is the rising tide of data – global, diverse, valuable and complex. In the realm of science, this is both an opportunity and a challenge Report of the High-Level Group on Scientific Data, Oct 2010 Riding the wave: how can Europe gain from the rising tide of scientific data http://bit.ly/riding_the_wave

25. Data as Infrastructure Our Vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data. In a sense [...] the data themselves become the infrastructure – a valuable asset, on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance. Report of the High-Level Group on Scientific Data, Oct 2010 Riding the wave: how can Europe gain from the rising tide of scientific data http://bit.ly/riding_the_wave

26. Vision 2030 (8) Global governance promotes international trust and interoperability. Member states should publish their strategy, and resources, for implementation, by 2015. Create a European framework for certification for those coming up to an appropriate level of interoperability. Create a scientific Davos meeting to bring commercial and scientific domains together. IMPACT IF ACHIEVED We avoid fragmentation of data and resources.
