30. rising tide of data… A fundamental characteristic of our age is the raising tide of data – global, diverse, valuable and complex. In the realm of science, this is both an opportunity and a challenge. • Report of the High-Level Experts Group on Scientific Data, to be published in October “Riding the wave How Europe can Gain from the rising tide of scientific data”

31. vision 2030 high-level experts group on Scientific Data “Our vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data. In a sense, the physical and technical infrastructure becomes invisible and the data themselves become the infrastructure – a valuable asset, on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance.” high-level experts group on Scientific Data

35. e-Infrastructures underpinning a creativity machine… “We humans have built a creativity machine. It’s the sum of three things: a few hundred million of computers, a communication system connecting those computers, and some millions of human beings using those computers and communications.” Vernor Vinge (Nature, Vol 440, March 2006)
