e-Infrastructures for Digital Libraries…the Future

The digital ICT revolution is profoundly changing the way knowledge is created, communicated and is being deployed. New research methods based on computing and "big data" enable new means and forms for scientific collaboration also through policy measures supporting open access to data and research results. The exponential growth of digital resources and services is supported by the deployment of e-Infrastructure, which allows researchers to access remote facilities, run complex simulations or to manage and exchange unprecedented amounts of digital data.
