3. Big Data — when size does matter
• More is not less...
- Large scale and global research
- Collaboration in Virtual Organizations
- Shared resources
- High dependence on ICT

4. Collaborations and Partnerships
• Virtual Research Team
Virtual Laboratory
- Focussed on doing research
Virtual Project
- Small scale
- Temporary and elastic Virtual Colla-
boration
- Little ICT awareness
• “Virtual” Infrastructure Provider Virtual Breeding Environment
- Focussed on providing infrastructure for specific discipline
- Well-organized with grands and budgets
- Longer term collaborations and better ICT awareness
- Not virtual (e.g. CLARIN, Lifewatch, LHC, Project Bamboo)
• Virtual Collaboration* = People + Groups + Resources +
Multi-Disciplines + Services + Policies + Funding + ...
