eBank UK Project• Two key themes:
– Open access to datasets
– Linking research data to publications and to learning
• UKOLN, University of Southampton, University of Manchester• e-Science application ‘Combechem’ : Grid-enabled combinatorial
chemistry + National Crystallography Service• Resource Discovery Network / PSIgate physical sciences portal
VC Retreat October 2005 18
1. Publish and cite data-sets
2. Link data to publications
VC Retreat October 2005 19
eBank embedded in a science portal: link to student learning

Integration into chemistry research workflows
• R4L Repository for the Laboratory Project (JISC-funded) automated data capture from instrumentation, registration of results
• SMART TEA electronic Laboratory notebook + annotations
• Computational chemistry: SPECTRa Project (JISC-funded)• Research assessment (RAE) process?
