New Forms of Data CDT
▶ Much of the value of ‘new forms of data’ lie in the potential for them to be analysed in near real-time, which presents opportunities for revealing phenomena as they unfold, enabling timely response with immediate influence. Such analysis brings distinct new computational requirements, requires new skills, and makes new demands on the ease of use and capability of the national e-Infrastructure.

Psychology and digital technology are being combined to understand music in new ways. In the run-up to the Being Human festival, a group of students in the audience for Wagner’s epic ‘Ring Cycle’, conducted by Valery Gergiev (Birmingham Hippodrome) will take part in an intriguing experiment to monitor the sensations produced over the 16-hour cycle of four operas.
How do we really experience Wagner’s music?

Digital Scholarship @ Oxford We have seen the affordances of digital in scholarship:�digitize, democratize, discover, access, analyze, automate, create, cite, curate, link, scale, share, re-use.
We can answer old questions in new ways, and new questions.
We see the future university leading in digital scholarship.
How do we get there? 1. Digital strategy to guide coherent investment 2. Innovation with new digital technology and methods 3. Co-creating capability with scholars and content 4. Ongoing support for research using digital infrastructure
