It’s all about laaaaaarge amounts of data
“Data are no longer considered as interim products to be discarded once the research reporting them is published. Rather, they have become important sources of scholarly content to be used and re-used.”Borgman, The role of libraries in e-science

This is e-science!
Sharing Use and re-use Using internet as a vehicle Distribution over many networked computers/people to
analyse the data/make the data usable Transparency New expertise: data journalism, data managers, data
scientists, data librarians etc.

Opportunities for data exchange
Data sharing is smart: it is efficient, avoids duplication, stimulates the
advancement of science about transparency: it allows re-analysis about enrichment: it adds value to traditional publications rewarding: requirement for publicly funded research
Roles and responsibilities: researchers, publishers, funders, libraries and data centres

A huge network of research libraries Linked through a common strategy where e-science and
DP are crucial Some of them with a lot…others with less expertise Keen to take up their roles in a European e-science
infrastructure
