Lee Dirks on Transforming Scholarly Communication

Lee Dirks, Director of Education & Scholarly Communications in Microsofts External Research division proposes a vision for the future of research and the need for semantic-oriented computing by exploring eResearch projects that have successfully applied relevant technologies. He suggests that a software + service model with scientific services delivered from the cloud will become an increasingly accepted model for research.

This event was co-sponsored by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, the Harvard Business School Knowledge and Library Services, Harvard Law School Library, and the Office for Scholarly Communication.

But the same idea, applied to our consumption and medical data explains why preventative medicine languishes from starvation.
