Outline
eScience
Wuzzat?
eSciDoc
a software suite for eScience repositories
eSciDoc implementations
PubMan, etc.
eScience on iFQ‘s radar

Photos then and now “ I took a photo with my telephone. I uploaded the photo from my phone to Flickr and tweeted about it.”

Little Science - 19 th century
A few geniuses working alone or in small-lab groups. Driven by genius, passion, luck.
Thomas Edison

Big Science – 20 th century
A large number of highly organized researchers. Driven by money, organizational goals.
Richards Medical Research Laboratories, Philadelphia

Big Science – The finale
CERN - 7931 scientists and engineers representing 608 universities and research facilities and 113 nationalities.
Where the WWW started

What is eScience?
“ Data deluge” - There is too much data.
Without plan for preservation, data is ephemeral.
Preserving data is useless without its metadata.
Research integrity: Data has a reuse value, and it is important to obtain full return on public investment.

Science now – preserving data

Most projects do not plan for this

What is eScience?
Getting researchers & administrators to understand that it’s not just about storage .
Awareness of data as an asset .
Public accountability: if science is for the public good, the data should be publically available .
data = computers = nerds “ Go talk to the Frank in the server room.”

eScience features
Data + metadata + Internet = eScience
Groups of all sizes can work together.
Connect 100 Edisons, each in their own lab
Perform experiments online.
MyExperiment is a collaborative environment where scientists can safely publish their workflows and experiment plans, share them with groups and find those of others.
Science becomes one big mash-up .

eScience - 21 st century
Networked researchers in scale-free groups. Driven by openness?, community?

eSciDocDays
eSciDoc is the result of a collaboration between the Max Planck digital library and FIZ Karlsruhe.
First eSciDocDays was held in 2008. There are about 120 attendees at this conference.
The goal of the project is building research environments.
The next steps in e-Science are integration of and navigation between sites, and how to provide deeper & broader insights.

eSciDocDays
PubMan supports research organizations in the management, dissemination and re-use of publications and supplementary material. It can be used out-of-the-box within the eSciDoc infrastructure.
IMEJI An eSciDoc application to manage images together with their specific metadata.
AWOB awob.mpg.de
BW-eLabs youtu.be/gwQ0r-BuREU?hd=1
Computer-controlled nano-experiments
Automated data capture and storage to eSciDoc

eSciDoc implementation

eScience and iFQ
Datasets are now citable:
Irino, T; Tada, R (2000): (Table A1) Major element and biogenic silica concentrations in ODP Hole 127-797B sediments. Geological Institute, University of Tokyo , doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.726528. In Supplement to: Irino, Tomohisa; Tada, Ryuji (2000): Quantification of aeolian dust (Kosa) contribution to the Japan Sea sediments and its variation during the last 200 ky. Geochemical Journal , 34(1) , 59-93.
Richer metadata allows new kinds of analysis
Project
Coverage
Event
Parameters
Size (# data points)

eScience challenges
Who pays for this?
OpenAccess model all over again
Who is responsible ? the IT guys don’t care about your metadata
Researchers
Librarians
Administrators
What are the rewards ?
Preserving data
Sharing data
Writing in silico experiments (software)

eScience carrot vs. stick
Joint declarations, Feb 2010:
American Naturalist
Evolution
Journal of Evolutionary Biology
Molecular Ecology
Heredity
And others…
This journal requires, as a condition for publication, that data supporting the results in the paper should be archived in an appropriate public archive, such as GenBank, TreeBASE, Dryad, or the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity.
http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/650340

eScience challenges
Security / confidence
Expertise – subject authority
No way to search for datasets in WoS/Scopus
DOIs not parsed into DB

Issues with eScience
Taking it too far?
Do we really want to preserve everything ?
