Framework for Discussion
Synthesize from Case Studies; Interdependent
•Technical:
–Hardware, software, equipment, people. Grid, cyberinfrastructure, e-science vision. Data integration, interoperability. Quality (security, authenticity)
•Institutional and Management:
–Funding agencies, government departments, governing boards of large activities; universities and research institutes
•Budgetary:
–Infrastructure upgrade, sustainability of data resources
•Legal and Policy:
–International and national laws and policies directly affect data access and data sharing practices
•Cultural and Behavioral:
–Reward structures, incentives, career paths; community value of sharing
Note that these are interdependent contexts that need consideration for policy (as you do in the summary page)


Technical: Robustness and flexibility of infrastructure; integration of data (semantic mediation), interoperability and metadata standards, infrastructure development (hardware, database design, grid software)
Institutional and Management: Funding Agencies, government departments, governing boards of large activities; universities and research institutes
Budgetary: Infrastructure upgrade, sustainability of data resources,
Legal and Policy: International and national laws and policies directly affect data access and data sharing practices
Cultural and Behavioral: Rewards (promotion, financial) within university systems; in community (value of sharing)
