  2. Research and Discovery in 5 Dimensions Fundamental Challenges A Shared Vision Strategies for Achieving the Vision Outline

  3. Cyberinfrastructure … … is the organized aggregate of technologies that enable us to access and integrate today’s information technology resources—data and storage, computation, communication, visualization, networking, scientific instruments, expertise—to facilitate science and engineering goals. - Fran Berman, Director, SDSC

  4. New Modes of Investigation The conduct of science and engineering is changing and evolving. This is due, in large part, to the expansion of networked cyberinfrastructure … NSF Strategic Plan 2006-2011

  8. Opening a 5th dimension through cyberinfrastructure is the defining feature of the digital age …

  9. The world is flat -Thomas Friedman The flat world is expanding -Anonymous NSF program director • More room for innovation • New spaces for learning and discovery • Expanded opportunities for collaboration and interaction • Greater capabilities for research and education

  10. Information is the currency of the digital age and information integration is the means for mobilizing that currency for discovery, innovation, learning, and progress.

  11. Cyberinfrasructure for Information Integration How and where did life on earth arise? Geochemistry Systematic Biology Evolutionary Chemistry Paleobiology Biochemistry

  12. Cyberinfrasructure for Information Integration What is the biological basis of consciousness? Behavioral Science Cognition Philosophy Neuroanatomy Neurochemistry

  13. Individuals, groups, organizations, and nations that don’t embrace the 5th dimension will fall behind in the digital age

  14. Characteristics of a 5D World: • Time and place are no longer barriers to participation and interaction • Information is the primary driver for progress • Access is open to specialists and non-specialists alike • The realm of the possible is expanded through new capabilities, resources, and mechanisms

  15. “Sometime in the 2010s, if all goes well, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will start to bring a vision of the heavens to Earth. Suspended between its vast mirrors will be a three billion-pixel sensor array, which on a clear winter night will produce 30 terabytes of data. In less than a week this remarkable telescope will map the whole night sky …. And then the next week it will do the same again … building up a database of billions of objects and millions of billions of bytes.” Nature 440:383

  18. The Fragility of Memory in a Digital Age “In 1964, the first electronic mail message was sent from either MIT, the Carnegie Institute, or Cambridge University. The message does not survive, however, and so there is no documentary record to determine which group sent the pathbreaking message.” Report of the Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information Commission on Preservation and Access and the Research Libraries Group

  19. Aug. 15, 2006, 5:13PM Seth Borenstein, Associated Press WASHINGTON —NASA said today it was launching an official search for more than 13,000 original tapes of the historic Apollo moon missions. NASA plans new search for missing moon tapes

  20. 2006 US National Library of Medicine Survey • 6,054 articles in 214 journal issues in calendar year 2006 • 10% of articles have linked, supplemental information (SI) • Among articles with SI links, average 2.2 links per article

  23. “If we are effectively to preserve for future generations the …. corpus of information in digital form that represents our cultural record, we need … to commit ourselves [as a society] technically, legally, economically, and organizationally to the full dimensions of the task.” A Challenge for Society Report of the Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information, 1996 Commission on Preservation and Access and the Research Libraries Group

  24. “Ensuring research data are easily accessible, so that they can be used as often and as widely as possible, is a matter of sound stewardship of public resources.” A Global Response Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); “Promoting Access to Public Research Data for Scientific, Economic, and Social Development”

  25. “DRIVER responds to the vision that any form of scientific-content resource, including reports, research articles, experimental or observational data, rich media … should be freely accessible through simple Internet-based infrastructures.” Europe Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research (DRIVER)www.driver-repository.eu

  26. “[W]e propose the establishment of a dedicated national infrastructure, tentatively called Data Canada, to assume overall leadership in the development and execution of a strategic plan [for digital data].” Canada National Consultation on Access to Scientific research Data (NCASRD)

  27. “Ensuring that New Zealand’s digital memory is preserved so it is accessible for present and future generations … Providing the mechanisms to make it quick and easy for New Zealanders to find, share, access, use and re-purpose content.” New Zealand Creating Digital New Zealand: The Draft New Zealand Digital Content Strategy

  28. “The National Library of Australia's Preserving Access to Digital Information (PADI) initiative aims to … ensure that information in digital form is managed with appropriate consideration for preservation and future access.” Australia National Library of Australia's Preserving Access to Digital Information (PADI) initiative

  29. National Science Foundation http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2007/nsf0728/index.jsp

  30. Vision: “… a vision in which science and engineering digital data are routinely deposited in well-documented form, are regularly and easily consulted and analyzed by specialists and non-specialists alike, are openly accessible while suitably protected, and are reliably preserved.”

  31. To catalyze the development of a system of science and engineering data collections that is open, extensible and evolvable. To support development of a new generation of tools and services facilitating data acquisition, mining, integration, analysis, and visualization. Goals:

  32. Digital Data Preservation and Access Framework • User-centric University State College • Multisector USER • Sustainable Non-profit Federal Commercial • Reliable Local International • Nimble

  33. Promote a change in culture Catalyze development of a digital data preservation and access framework Support new generations of tools, services, and capabilities Summary Strategic plan seeks to:

  37. “Ever since their inception, universities have been occupied with the fundamental elements of what we now call 'knowledge management', i.e. the creation, collection, preservation and dissemination of knowledge.” The Universities Andre Oesterlinck, Knowledge Management in Post-Secondary Education: Universities

  38. The distinctive mission of the University is to serve society as a center of higher learning, providing long-term societal benefits through transmitting advanced knowledge, discovering new knowledge, and functioning as an active working repository of organized knowledge. Mission Statement of the University of California

  39. “It is to the research library community that others will look for the preservation of … digital assets, as they have looked to us in the past for reliable, long-term access to the ‘traditional’ resources and products of research and scholarship.” The Academic Libraries Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Strategic Plan 2005-2009

  40. The University of Queensland Library's mission is to link people with information, enabling the University of Queensland to achieve excellence in teaching, learning, research, and community service. Keith WebsterUniversity Librarian and Director of Learning Services

  42. Enabling information integration is the raison d’etre Reliable digital preservation and access are the foundations Data are plural A world of five dimensions is inherently international The 5th dimension is built by individuals and institutions Absence of continuous change is a threat CI Principles for a Successful Legal Framework in 5 Dimensions
