Notes de l'éditeur
- The emergence of new research methods that exploit advanced computational resources, data collections and scientific instruments, in other words e-Science, promises to revolutionise the scientific discovery process. Science will experience major changes in the way it is performed. Researchers will be facing unprecedented levels of complexity in tackling scientific challenges with a global societal impact. Bringing together knowledge from different fields of science will be essential. In this period of transformation, European researchers, educators and students will have a key role in further developing the potential of e-Science to make Europe a leading global player.
- Global Virtual Research Communities, anticipating the advent of research 2.0 paradigms, have opened new perspectives for cross-border multi-disciplinary collaboration. A cultural change is taking place in the way scientific knowledge is produced and disseminated, leading to the emergence of Global Virtual Research Communities. Europe is already contributing to the innovation of the scientific process by enabling scientific communities to use e-Infrastructures to address research challenges of global relevance.
- Main issues worrying the communities are: managing very large volumes of information, validating and ensuring quality, enriching databases with high-quality annotation and metadata, discoverability and re-use, making information useful to a wider number of users (incl. of other scientific domains) The landscape of data repositories in Europe is rather heterogeneous but there is a solid basis to develop a coherent strategy to overcome the fragmentation and enable research communities to better manage, use, share and preserve data. European funded projects in the domain of Scientific Data infrastructures share a common vision that any form of scientific content resource should be easily accessible through user friendly e-Infrastructures services. European-funded projects in the field of scientific data infrastructures (e.g DRIVER, the ESFRI PP projects CESSDA, DARIAH, etc) share a common vision which is: any form of scientific content resource (scientific reports, research articles, experimental or observational data, rich media, etc.) should be easily accessible European research and innovation policies aim at strengthening the scientific and technological basis to attain industrial competitiveness and prosperity through user-friendly e-Infrastructure services.
- European and National e-Infrastructures need to address the emerging challenge of data centric science. To achieve this, Europe needs to deploy a coherent and managed eco-system of repositories of scientific information. Europe needs to define consistent policies to enhance access to scientific information (e.g. in line with the indications of ESFRI position paper on scientific data, the Communication on scientific information in the digital age: access, dissemination and preservation and the Open Access pilot in FP7 launched in 2008 launched in 2008). Member States and scientific communities are invited to step up investment in scientific data infrastructures and promote the sharing of best practices. The Commission will reinforce the catalytic investment under FP7 in scientific data infrastructure, to support accessibility and preservation policies.
