>Eresearch is the world where academia, computational power and 
>high-speed telecommunications intersect.  Adrian Burton, Project 
>Leader of the Australian Partership for Sustainable Repositories, 
>will reprise his talk entitled Eresearch, National 
>Perspectives.  This addresses questions of the national and 
>international perspectives for policy and infrastructure to enable 
>and support eResearch and looks at overseas trends and models.
>
>Margaret Henty and Danny Kingsley, both with APSR, use the analogy 
>of the pantry in presenting their talk entitled "Readiness and 
>responsibility for managing research data: The Institutional 
>Perspective".  Items in repositories on their own are like the basic 
>ingredients in a pantry - potentially useful, if bland. But when 
>they are put together in different ways the results can be 
>spectacular. Thinking about repositories in this way shows how 
>repositories can be reconceptualised as service demands change. This 
>way of thinking offers a significant part of the solution to the 
>eResearch challenge.
>
>The talks will be videorecorded for use in APSR publicity.  Come 
>along and find what treats might be in store from the APSR kitchens.
