Citizen science
• Collaborative activity not just with peers • Interaction with the public • Citizen science• Crowd-sourcing? Capacity-building?
• We need dedicated interfaces to exploit this under-used workforce

Collective intelligence
• Today: aggregations, comments, tags, annotations, ratings, reviews, opinions…
• Tomorrow: “collective intelligence” to analyse, assess, mine, extract, evaluate….
• We need tools to leverage this resource

Predictive science• Content is infrastructure e.g. Protein Data Bank
• Today: primary data, images, text• Tomorrow: digests, simulations, models
• Today: discovery to delivery• Tomorrow: mine & model, simulate & synthesise
• Today: statistics• Tomorrow: Predictive science
We need verification & validation methodologies….

Mixed reality environments
• Opportunities for participative exploration• Rich test-bed for experimentation• Mimic, innovate and extend• Immerse and experience• Ubiquitous? Pervasive? Persistent?
• We need to achieve seamless transition, integration, linking between worlds…..
