Thanks Duncan! This is very timely. I'm on day 4 of my factfinding mission
about use of research data. On Tuesday we were at MIT and saw W3C, senseable
cities and Mike Stonebraker (databases!), yesterday we had a fab day at Harvard
and found strong social science connections and technology-wise everything from
computational chemistry on mobile phones to GPU preprocessing of data streams
from instruments (their HPC class is attended by 20 computer scientists and 40
scientists!) Also saw Science Commons - crikey, issues of derivative works
from mashups is tough! We're asking everyone a set of questions to do with
their changing practice in research data use and the behaviours of their
communities - getting some evidence from the coalface :) We have an evolving
talk which is all about e-Science as co-evolution. :-) I'll blog the trip so
far at the weekend - there is no time in the schedule to write, except perhaps
at baggage carousels but so far suitcase delivery has been too timely! Turns
out we'll be bumping into Doug Kell's mission for a weekend in Seattle. Watch
this space :-)

Why don't scientists share data? A subject close to the heart of
myexperiment / biocatalogue and a special issue it today's edition
of nature.
