Science 2.0 -- Is Open Access Science the Future?: Scientific Am. The first generation of World Wide Web capabilities rapidly transformed retailing and information search. More recent attributes such as blogging, tagging and social networking, dubbed Web 2.0, have just as quickly expanded people’s ability not just to consume online information but to publish it, edit it and collaborate about it—forcing such old-line institutions as journalism, marketing and even politicking to adopt whole new ways of thinking and operating. Science could be next. A small but growing number of researchers (and not just the younger ones) have begun to carry out their work via the wide-open tools of Web 2.0. And although their efforts are still too scattered to be called a movement—yet—their experiences to date suggest that this kind of Web-based “Science 2.0” is not only more collegial than traditional science but considerably more productive.

E-Science. Characteristics and examples[edit] Most of the research activities into e-Science have focused on the development of new computational tools and infrastructures to support scientific discovery. Due to the complexity of the software and the backend infrastructural requirements, e-Science projects usually involve large teams managed and developed by research laboratories, large universities or governments. Currently[when?]
There is a large focus in e-Science in the United Kingdom, where the UK e-Science programme provides significant funding. In Europe the development of computing capabilities to support the CERN Large Hadron Collider has led to the development of e-Science and Grid infrastructures which are also used by other disciplines. Consortiums[edit] Example e-Science infrastructures include the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, a federation with various partners including the European Grid Infrastructure, the Open Science Grid and the Nordic DataGrid Facility. UK programme[edit] eSI workshop: The Influence and Impact of Web 2.0 on e-Research Infrastructure, Applications and Users March 2009. The number of Web 2.0 services and applications, widely used by Internet users, academics, industry and enterprise, are growing rapidly, which demonstrates Web 2.0's solid foundations.
These technologies and services are based on the open standards that underpin the Internet and Web, and are used in many forms, e.g. blogs, wikis, mashups, social websites, podcasting and content tagging. This field is having a significant impact on distributed infrastructure and applications, and on the way users and developers interact. The area needs to be thoroughly investigated and understood to encourage the development of new services and applications for e-Research. Target Audience We wish to engage the e-Science, and e-Research community, as well as those in the arts and humanities, and other researchers who have not been funded under the e-Science Programme.
Hands on Session Prerequisites Those marked with an asterisk (*) should be installed and tested, but left in their vanilla state Programme. [Mulce.org Documentation] Eurocall 2010. EUROCALL - Mulce Workshop1 Bordeaux - Online Task. Online task to discover the potential of Mulce Corpora Christophe Reffay – Mulce/Eurocall workshop Sept, 8 th , 2010, Bordeaux , France. Let's try to find a Mulce object (identifier) by using a search engine. You can test for example one of the following identifiers: “mce-copeas-eurocall05-all”, “mce-simu-sna-all” or “mce-copeas-letec-all”.
You should find some of the following sources: OLAC record: : this is the Open Language Archive Community (OLAC) server that will present the metadata concerning the requested mulce Object. The publisher field gives a link to the Mulce documentation site. Mulce OAI-PMH (Open Archive Initiative – Protocole for Metadata Harvesting) static repository file: : the complete (raw) XML file that includes the list of objects and metadata of the Mulce repository.
Please check your browser version: see our [home] page; [MULCE]-Accueil. Round Trip Mulce Platform. Basically, this server is a repository of Learning and Teaching Corpora (LETECs). The main page (namely [Browsing]) provides 2 links: Objects selection and Identified Resources . The objects selection provides a set of criteria to get a list of objects that fit these criteria. In this first case, the user does not need to know any object identifier or properties. In contrast, the second link is a shorter path to get any resource by its identifier. But first, let's see the criteria provided by the first link. What kind of object is available in the Mulce repository? The path “[Browsing]/Object selection” leads to a list of criteria characterizing some of the objects contained in the Mulce repository. The following screen view gives the (8) dimensions considered to select objects among those that are present in the Mulce repository.
