Your data in their Cloud?
“all too many observations lie isolated and forgotten on personal hard drives and CDs trapped by technical, legal and cultural barriers...”
Share my
data?
Why? Lack of awareness of potential? Reluctance to collaborate and share?

accessible data + wider participation
2. We need new metrics
3. Are our institutions ready?
4. Capacity : Capability
5. Articulate range of values and benefits
