What will be done with the data?
Full-text and metadata harvested, inverted, indexed
Artificial-intelligence augmented classification of article (enriched metadata)
Articles will also be tagged and classified by users (Connotea, delicious)
Text-mining and data-mining for new technologies (e.g. NeuroCommons)
Citation-linking (forward to articles cited; backwards to articles citing)

What else are researchers doing?
e-science and e-research Data sharing Using new informal channels
Key Perspectives Ltd
National Institutes of Health
‘Data should be made as widely and freely available as possible while safeguarding the privacy of participants, and protecting confidential and proprietary data’
Key Perspectives Ltd
NIH Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) Project
‘Software, data, standards, infrastructure directly supported by caBIG resources must be open source and open access (i.e. licensed to the government with the government having no restrictions with regard to redistribution).’
Key Perspectives Ltd
NASA
‘NASA is committed to full and open sharing of ESE data from its funded and owned systems’ No embargo period Access for the scientific community and the
general public ‘NASA is committed to non-discriminatory
access to data’

UK funding bodies
Research Councils Joint Data Standards Study Wellcome Trust
Key Perspectives Ltd
OECD (Declaration on Access to Research Data from Public Funding)
The governments of 34 nations recognise: Optimum international exchange of data, information and
knowledge contributes decisively to the advancement of scientific research and innovation
Open access to, and unrestricted use of, data promotes scientific progress and facilitates the training of researchers
Open access will maximise the value derived from public investments in data collection efforts
Substantial benefits that science, the economy and society at large could be gained from the opportunities that expanded use of digital data resources
The risk that undue restrictions on access to and use of research data from public funding could diminish the quality and efficiency of scientific research and innovation

Technological change
Stage 1: apply new technologies to existing processes (i.e. more of the same, faster and cheaper)
Stage 2: integrate new technologies into existing processes (i.e. improve existing systems)
Stage 3: infuse and diffuse new technologies to create new processes and systems
