Description
The European High Level Expert Group on Scientific data (2010) has formulated the challenges for a scientific infrastructure to be reached by 2030: “Our vision is a scientific e‐infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re‐use, and trust of data. In a sense, the physical and technical infrastructure becomes invisible and the data themselves become the infrastructure – a valuable asset, on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance”.
Here, “data” is not restricted to primary data but also includes all non‐textual material (graphs, spectra, videos, 3D objects, etc.). The German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) must now rise to these challenges: developing solutions together with the scientific community to make such data available, citable, sharable and usable, including visual search tools and enhanced content‐based retrieval. With solutions such as DataCite and modular development for extraction, indexing and visual searching of new scientific metadata, TIB will ride this wave and will make all data accessible to its users fast, convenient and easy to use.
