Swimming in Data:
Exploding ability to capture and manipulate data
Pointing to opportunity of analysis and linking
across these interfaces
•Across Scales, Disciplines, National Boundaries
“Science and society are swimming in data, starting with our ability to collect it. We see that across all scales of physical and biological phenomena under investigation, across disciplines, and across national boundaries.”

“And the handling of data just begins with it collection, often there are needs to refine, reduce, deposit in databases. Then the real work begins, of data federation, analysis, mining, and mediating across domain knowledge.”
“As a side note, one of the challenges here is the ability to bring data together across various disciplines – this will be addressed in one of the discussion sections.”
