OK, I now know the chair of the session isn’t David, as he is speaking now.
He starts by saying that the VRE is the web. He is going to describe his view of ‘the new e-science’:
The new e-science is:
- Everyday researchers doing the everyday research
- A data-centric perspective, like researchers
- Collaborative and participatory
- Benefiting from the scale of digital science activity to support science
- Increasingly open
- Better not Perfect
- Empowering researchers
- About pervasive computing
Essentially a lot of this is about the idea of researcher-centric activity – if they have access to the right tools they will build what they need.
