” Our Vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data. In a sense [...] the data themselves become the infrastructure – a valuable asset, on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance”.

"My goal is to raise awareness of the opportunities represented by scientific data as well as setting out a plan for future developments."
Start slowly, partner, pilot & build infrastructures
