Access Grid developments• Scientific Workspaces of the Future (Argonne National
Lab ANL)– Shared applications and tools:– Image viewer / Movie / 3D molecule viewer– Mark-up / annotate
• Advanced Biomedical Collaboratory (ANL, Univ Chicago– Surgery, radiology, anatomy– Advanced collaborative visualisation tools– Education and training e.g. surgeons
• Art on the Grid (Arctic Node SC)– Collaborative telematic art– How to modify spaces for performers (not meetings)– Synchronisation issues– New work Interplay: Hallucinations

Collaborative technologies: early days?• What are the ingredients of successful (e-) collaboration?• What are the barriers to take-up?
– Human factors– Usability issues
• Exchange of experience – learning and research?• If we approach human discourse as a resource there are
issues of:– Preservation and curation– Description– Discovery– ??
• Explore the “Sociology of cyberspace” (UCLA course)• Adaptive network spaces (for work groups, meetings,
performances, games, ??)

Towards a common infrastructure
• JISC Information Environment– Technical architecture based on open standards (Web Services,
OAI-PMH, Z39.50, RSS…..) http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/distributed-systems/jisc-ie/arch/
• e-Learning Programme– Technical Framework to support E-Learning
http://www.cetis.ac.uk/members/frameworks/index.html
• Virtual Research Environment– Framework options e.g. CHEF, Chandler, SAKAI, ??
• Common Information Environment– A cross-sectoral vision
• Frameworks Scoping Study– A common model with mapping, visualisation, planning tools

Potential longer term impact
1. Track data, information and workflows in e-research and scholarly communications – knowledge audit??
2. Validate the accuracy and authenticity of derived works – ideas audit??
3. Facilitate explicit referencing and acknowledgment of original contributors – intellectual integrity??
4. Raise standards associated with publication of research outputs – academic publishing rigour??
5. Implement open access to and dissemination of data and information – enhance the research process??
6. Give students links to original data underpinning published works – enhance the learning process??

Issues for our organisations• External drivers
– Economic and political (Lambert Review Dec 2003)– Innovation and knowledge transfer– Collaborations, mergers, federations
• Intra-institutional– Grid client problem– Digital asset management– Audit processes
• Human resources– Awareness-raising and skills development– Engagement and (hybrid) roles– Managing workflows
• Legal– IPR, consent, privacy
• Cultural change
![Page 34: UKOLN is supported by: Reflections on a changing landscape - information as a consumer utility. Dr Liz Lyon, UKOLN, University of Bath, UK JISC Joint Programmes](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042613/551609a8550346cf6f8b5f61/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
"The talk you hear...about adapting to change is not only stupid, it's...dangerous. The only way you can manage change is to create it. By the time you catch up to change, the competition is ahead of you."
Peter Drucker

JISC Joint Programmes Meeting 2004 35
Transformational change
• Alters the culture (beliefs and values) of the institution by changing – select underlying assumptions and
institutional behaviours– processes and products
• Is deep and pervasive affecting the whole institution
• Is intentional• Occurs over time

IT hard problem areas (some of them..)• Scalability of tools & environments as the number of users & sites
increase• User interfaces that provide prompts, alerts and reminders at the point of
(medical) decision-making• Public support for open source electronic health records• Data warehousing, data mining & knowledge management of multi-
decade, multi-disciplinary datasets• Interfaces that let users interact in ways that are natural to each group• Universal participation will be over the grid• Reconfigurable networking to support ad-hoc alliances• Automated tools to analyse information & identify causal relationships• Analyse & present information in multiple languages• Collaborative knowledge discovery, retrieval, representation &
integration to make inferences• Context-aware information delivery………
