Because good research needs good data

DCC’s first eScience longitudinal study published

Joy Davidson | 28 November 2008

We are delighted to announce that the DCC’s first eScience longitudinal study, which is based on a series of observations of the CARMEN project, has been published.

CARMEN [Code, Analysis, Repository & Modelling for e-Neuroscience], a four-year project that is still in progress, aims to create a virtual laboratory for neurophysiology, enabling the sharing and collaborative exploitation of data, analysis code and expertise that are not physically co-located. The DCC study of CARMEN records not only the technical challenges encountered but also reflects upon the organisational and behavioural undercurrents of this ambitious eScience undertaking.
