A Tidal Wave of Scientific Data
“Data sets are
becoming the
new instruments
of science”
Dan Atkins, University of Michigan
“One of the greatest challenges for 21st-century
science is how we respond to this new era of dataintensive science. This is recognized as a new
paradigm beyond experimental and theoretical
research and computer simulations of natural
phenomena—one that requires new tools,
techniques, and ways of working.”
— Douglas Kell, University of Manchester

All Scientific Data Online
• Many disciplines overlap and use
data from other sciences.
• Internet can unify all literature and
data
• Go from literature to computation to
data back to literature.
• Information at your fingertips –
For everyone, everywhere
• Increase Scientific Information
Velocity
• Huge increase in Science
Productivity

”People want more
guidance at the start of “People make do with
their project – there is a what they can find –
black hole in this area.” this may not be best
practice”
“Researchers can hire cloud time but they don’t
know what to do with it yet.”
