People were happy with the coverage of the book Glossary of terms such as NGS, OMII-UK, NeSC, e-SI proposed – online and in the book Low level working group suggested including NGS, OMII-UK and NeSC etc to ensure better collaboration regards online glossary, Wikipedia etc. Two levels of definitions in the glossary / knowledge base – one for computer scientists and one for users / potential users Possible potential for an OGF working group on user community

5. web: www.omii.ac.uk email: info@omii.ac.uk Discussion (cont.) OGF working group – identify the people to take this forward (users, NGS, OMII-UK, NeSC) Find a mechanism of support for users to attend OGF meetings For users to contribute as moderators Plan a workshop to identify which resource to use for the knowledge management (e.g. MyExperiment, Facebook, Gridipedia, Digital Library) But first of all decide what we want the tool to do before we choose the tool Question driven for users e.g. how can I make my databases available?
