General objective:
Establish a persistent and robust service
infrastructure for scientific data in Europe that
responds to the needs of the data-intensive
Science of 2020
INFRA-2011-1.2.2
More specifically:
Deployment of generic services for persistent data storage, access
and management that assure data provenance, authenticity and
integrity and respond to the needs of advanced user communities
Development of an open access, participatory infrastructure for
scientific information linking peer-reviewed literature and
associated data sets and collections which can be open to nonscientists and to providers of value-added services
Scientific community-driven policy development and service
deployment for data generation, provenance, quality assessment,
certification, curation, annotation, navigation and management so

(b) address education and training;
(c) address social factors and incentives or rewards that would encourage the
use of open data infrastructures by scientists;
(d) leverage national e-Science initiatives on data;
(e) foster the use and deployment of open standards and APIs in order to
encourage value-added services by third parties;

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”
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.”

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)
