2013 Seminar
e-Science, we-Science and the latest evolutions in e-publishing
Science and research is rapidly evolving into e-science and e-research, and this in turn is sparking a continuous flow of new e-publishing evolutions. Our annual London Innovations seminar will bring you the latest developments from these frontiers including: new methods of enriching academic information develop; semantic technologies which add context and meaning; data mining, bringing new patterns and new relationships; entity linking which helps forge connections to deeper data and related information elsewhere on the web or in the cloud.
This year’s event has brought together an impressive list of enticing speakers to examine the research data revolution, information augmentation and information analytics. The afternoon is dedicated to e-Science and we-Science and includes an exciting tour through the Zooniverse, one of the most successful manifestations of citizen science.
Come and experience what the real article-of-the-future will look like.

Morning Keynote and IEEE lecture: The Research Data Revolution Moderated by: Gerry Grenier, IEEE
The Research Data Revolution Johns Hopkins University Data has become a major topic of interest from all sectors of society with headlines such as “Data is the new oil” to assertions from McKinsey that data is the fourth factor of production. Within higher education, new forms of data intensive scholarship have already begun to transform research and learning. The “Research Data Revolution” will examine the implications of these developments for libraries and publishers especially as they relate to new forms of competition. |
