Fundamentally about CollaborationSharing
Ideas Thought processes and Stimuli Effort Resources
Requires Communication Common understanding & Framework Mechanisms for sharing fairly Organisation and Infrastructure
Scientists (Biologists) have done this for Centuries

Fundamentally about CollaborationSharing
Ideas Thought processes and Stimuli Effort Resources
Requires Communication Common understanding & Framework Mechanisms for sharing fairly Organisation and Infrastructure
Text, digital media, structured, organised & curated data, computable
models, visualisation, shared instruments, shared systems,
shared administration, …
Nationally & Internationally Distributed, …
Routine, Daily, Automated, …
That Requires very Significant Investment in DigitalSystems and their Support

Requires Communication Common understanding & Framework Mechanisms for sharing fairly Organisation and Infrastructure
Digital networks, digital work-places, digital
instruments, …
Metadata, ontologies, standards, shared curated
data, shared codes, …
Common platforms, shared software, shared training, …
The Grid SHOULD make this much easier byproviding a common, supported high-level of Software and Organisational infrastructure

Political, Economic & Technical issues to Solve
Early days but Open Grid Services link with Web
Services + GGF standardisation
Not yet but very substantialglobal effort to achieve this
Good basis for extensionCommitment to basic functionality
WS + Community effort
Global & Industrial Rallying CryMust work with Web Services
