eScience refers to new science opportunities that require distributed collaborations and enabled by emerging internet technologies. These technologies include grid computing, distributed data management, and collaborative tools. Many tools are still in the process of rapid development, and in some cases standards are not yet established.

UNIVERSITY AND CYBERSPACE: RESHAPING KNOWLEDGE INSTITUTIONS FOR THE NETWORKED AGE Torino, Italy, 28-30 June 2010

What are the merits of starting a blog on Nature Network versus an institutional platform?

Proposes a new way of looking at library organization and services, with three specific areas, reduce redundant collection and storage with a "national network of "last copy" print repositories," throw efforts toward National Digital Library such as proposed by Darnton, coordinate depository and data sharing initiatives, consolidate technical services operations regionally, and establish an LIS R&D for data collection, data sharing, decision making and development of useful information applications.

OpenAIRE (Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe), a project funded within the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), develops a network of open repositories providing free online access to knowledge produced by researchers receiving grants from the European Commission or the European Research Council

Abstract: "By analyzing six different event-centric datasets of resources shared in social media in the period from June 2009 to March 2012, we found about 11% lost and 20% archived after just a year and an average of 27% lost and 41% archived after two and a half years. Furthermore, we found a nearly linear relationship between time of sharing of the resource and the percentage lost, with a slightly less linear relationship between time of sharing and archiving coverage of the resource. From this model we conclude that after the first year of publishing, nearly 11% of shared resources will be lost and after that we will continue to lose 0.02% per day." Wonder how this compares with some of the "linkrot" or disappearing web resource links studies in the '00s?

Wikipedia may have more in common with an old-fashioned factory floor than we think.

Very interesting, Gosia!
