Coping with “Big Data”
eScience
Abstract
The exponential growth of research data and their complexity are creating significant problems for scientists and organizations. New web technologies, infrastructure, and services that are identified with umbrella terms such as eScience, Science 2.0, digital humanities, Semantic Web, and open science are changing how scientists perform their research, find information, and collaborate with each other. This chapter looks at research data from different perspectives and shows how academic libraries and other stakeholders are engaging in supporting eScience, a term that refers to large datasets and tools that facilitate the acquisition, management, and exchange of digital scientific data.
