Adding Value to Data: Digital Repositories in Research Infrastructures

我们将建立一个网络，以解决电子科学和数字知识库领域之间的协同潜力，以及通过增加这些领域的研究人员和从业人员之间的互动与合作将获得的利益。更具体地说，该网络将解决电子科学和数字存储库相结合的一系列相关问题，包括：在数字存储库中整合电子科学方法和工具；在更广泛的电子基础设施中集成存储库；加强数字资料库，以管理复杂的科学工作流程；使用网格和语义技术等高级技术的存储库联合。这些问题将在电子科学数据创建和管理的更广泛背景下解决。该网络将跨学科运作，包括艺术、人文和社会科学以及狭义的科学，因为涉及的技术是跨学科的。我们会鼓励跨学科的联系和合作，并促进在一个学科内取得的知识和专业知识转移到其他领域。此外，考虑到这些技术的潜在应用范围，我们预计对网络的兴趣不会局限于学术界，也会包括非学术机构。因此，我们将鼓励行业参与者，包括商业公司、文化遗产组织（如博物馆、艺术画廊和历史图书馆）、媒体和公共/政府机构。我们现在已经为网络赠款创建了一个网站：www.dresnet.net。请在EPSRC的项目页面上引用这个网站。顺便说一下，DReSNeT是我们对网络的简称（电子科学数字资源库的缩写…）

We will set up a network that addresses the potential for synergy between the fields of e-Science and Digital Repositories, and the benefits that will be obtained by increasing interaction and cooperation between researchers and practitioners in these fields. More specifically, the network will address a group of related issues where e-Science and Digital Repositories meet, including: the incorporation of e-science methodologies and tools within digital repositories; the integration of repositories within wider e-infrastructures; the enhancement of digital repositories to manage complex scientific workflows; the federation of repositories using advanced techniques such as grid and semantic technologies. These issues will be addressed within the broader context of data creation and curation in e-Science. The network will operate across disciplines, including the arts, humanities and social sciences as well as the sciences in the narrower sense, as the technologies addressed are trans-disciplinary. We will encourage inter-disciplinary contacts and collaborations, and facilitate the transfer of knowledge and expertise gained within one discipline to other fields. Moreover, given the range of potential applications of the technologies, we do not expect interest in the Network to be restricted to the academic world, but also to include non-academic institutions. Consequently, we will encourage industrial participants, including commercial companies, cultural heritage organisations (e.g. museums, art galleries, and historic libraries), the media, and public/government bodies. We have now created a website for the network grant: www.dresnet.net . Would you please reference this website on the EPSRC page for the project. By the way, DReSNeT is our short name for the network(an abbreviation of Digital Repositories for e-Science... )
