Scientific DataCuration
Experimental innovation, extensive collaborations engaging CS researchers,
developers and digital data curation experts
Wide adoption of a small number of Standards essentiallarge-scale & long-term trials steering development
Integration with other services: computing services, UKERNA, digital libraries,Discipline Centres, National Centres, European Grids, Global Grids
Present a coherent Image of UKe-Science, e.g. indexed bibliography

Diversify funding sources to increase stability, e.g. international and commercial projects and contracts
Integrate closely with universities’ research and education to gainSHEFC foundation funding and a supply of skilled staff
Capitalise further on the professionalism and skills of the existing team,improving coordination and tooling where possible
Convince funders that sustaininginvestment in e-Science is essential
Expand the team through growing alliances, e.g. Globus Alliance,through additional funding streams, e.g. EGEE, NextGrid, OMII, NDCC, …
Sustaining our efforts
