Status: Recognized & Endorsed 

This Interest Group will focus on data related issues of science applications associated with large scale source facilities, including: synchrotron x-ray sources, free-electron laser x-ray sources, reactor and spallation neutron sources, muon sources, large electron microscope, NMR and high-powered laser facilities, which are used typically for investigations into the structure of matter at micro or nano scale.  

This Interest Group proposes that cloud computing infrastructures will provide Developing World Research (DWR) with the leverage necessary to compete with Developed World  Research and apply knowledge in providing solutions to the critical problems they encounter. Cloud computing platforms have the potential to:

The Research Data Provenance Interest Group focuses on the comparison and evaluation of models for data provenance. It is concerned with questions of data origins, maintenance of identity through the data lifecycle, and how we account for data modification.

Status: Recognised & Endorsed The aim of this Interest Group is to develop a set of good practices for managing research data archived in the university context as universities and research institutions are becoming increasingly interested in collecting and providing access to datasets produced at their institution that do not fall within the scope of other discipline-based, or government repositories.
