E-science steps forward into the Middle Ages


A decade after a British official coined the term e-science, a University of Western Australia researcher is planning a Medieval Manuscript Commons to help bring its successor, e-research, to the humanities.

Dr Toby Burrows, digital services director for the ARC Network for Early European Research (NEER), hopes for a day when humanities scholars can conduct research without leaving the desk.

?While many scientists have access to massive worldwide e-research datasets, the humanities have lagged behind ? until now,? Dr Burrows says.

NEER?s digital services include Confluence, a web-based collaborative environment, and PioNEER, a repository for research publications.
