"The most commonly used definition for E-Science is that it is type of scientific research that uses large-scale computing infrastructure to process very large datasets (i.e., "Big Science", which generates "Big Data"). However many (most?) often I hear E-Science used as an umbrella term that describes any size of science that involves digital data and/or analysis. These days, that pretty much covers all science. I therefore contend that E-Science as a phrase is redundant - it was describing what used to be a subset of science, but is now more correctly describing all science. So why is there an "E" at all?"

"E-Science is the tool that offers scientists a scope to store, interpret, analyse and network their data to other work groups. e-Science will play a major role in every facet of scientific research, starting out with the initial theory-based research, testing through simulation, systematically controlled testing, collection of data in an organised manner and the corresponding interpretation of said data."
