What do you think of e-ScienceCity? E-Science projects are global collaborations that rely on international computing infrastructures. They link together continents and connect different disciplines with grids, clouds and high performance computers. But behind the technology you’ll find people making it all work people with very diverse backgrounds and interests.

What do you think of e-ScienceCity? Big data, open data. Data vs. theory. Welcome to data park! Big Science today is all about big, open data or so we're told. But what does that mean exactly? Take a stroll around data park, and find out. Things are hopefully well signposted, but if you have trouble getting around, just tell the Park Ranger. For starters, you might want to take a look at Data in 30 seconds. Where you can find out about what data is. Some of the computer formats data can come in.

What do you think of e-ScienceCity? Big data, open data. Data vs. theory. Big data, open data. Data are the bedrock of science. Without them, scientific theories, which are nuggets of our understanding of how the world works, would have no foundation. Scientists see trends in data, which can help them formulate and later confirm their hypothesis. The correct usage is data are…data is plural;. Here, aside from this page, we use data as though it were singular. 1 petabyte (PB) = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes...

What do you think of e-ScienceCity? Big data, open data. Data vs. theory. How we handle data looks likely to play an important role in how we deal with the Grand Challenges facing us in the 21st Century. But how we have used and stored data in the past. Both before and during the information age in which we now live, should help us decide on how we can harness technologies to bring Meaning to the web. And produce the cities of the future. Big data, open data. Data vs. theory.

What do you think of e-ScienceCity? Big data, open data. Data vs. theory. Technologies are developing to a point where they integrate ever more seamlessly into our lives. But human/technology interaction doesn’t often happen naturally – it’s a result of good design. And design, so often, is just as much about what you take out as what you put in. Ldquo;The best interface. Is no interface,” said Donald A Norman in the book,. The Art of Human-Computer Design. Big data, open data. Data vs. theory.
