JSR
JISC Support of Research committee – supports the requirements of the research community
Includes representatives nominated by each of the UK Research Councils
www.jisc.ac.uk/jcsr
The role of the JISC Support of Research committee is to support the research community by funding technical development and advisory services. The representative nature of the committee and its strong links with the other research bodies ensure that these activities remain relevant to the research community.

Data capture
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 9
1. Produce strategy for synthesis (=idea)
2. Submit plan to SmartTea system (incl. identifiers)
3. Retrieve and follow instructions (sub-workflow)
4. Experimental synthesis metadata automatically recorded on instruments (Smart Lab)
5. Create record for synthesised sample (+ proposed chemical identifier) in R4L laboratory data management system
6. Run spectral analyses on sample capturing further analysis metadata (incl. time-stamp, analysis software version, researcher details etc.)
7. Save spectrum in native and common formats
8. Invoke R4L data capture service and deposit files + metadata in laboratory repository…

e-Malaria
A computer-aided drug discovery system for chemistry teaching
– Take a suitable enzyme target in the malaria parasite
– Design small molecule as possible drug
– ‘Dock’ in to enzyme target to find improved binding
– Modify to yield drug like molecule
Example of chemistry in context
– Authentic activity
– Students use real data and real software
– Chance drug candidates could go on for in vitro & in vivo tests

3D shape
Now try to dock the drug in to the enzyme active site- but which way round? Lots of ways to try!
How well does it bind?

integrated Rule-Oriented Data System
Multiple systems need to be integrated:• PAWN submission pipeline - 34 operations• Cheshire indexing system - 13 operations• Kepler workflow - 53 operations• iRODS data management - 597 operations• Operations facility - the remaining capabilities
The 597 operations are executed by 174 generic rules The analysis identified five types of metadata attributes:
• Collection metadata - 11 attributes• File metadata - 123 attributes• User metadata - 38 attributes• Resource metadata - 9 attributes• Rule metadata - 32 attributes

e-Infrastructure Vision
The £10 million e-Infrastructure programme is primarily concerned with consolidating and building on work to establish an e-infrastructure undertaken with other partners during the initial five-year investment in the UK e-science programme.
e-Infrastructure embraces networks, security, grids, data centres, specialist services and collaborative environments, and can include supporting operations centres, service registries, single sign-on, certificate authorities, training and community support services. The range of e-Infrastructure developments is already maturing: grid computing is now typically used as a basis for the computation and data management required by collaborative research, and JISC investments such as in virtual research environments and Shibboleth are presently being adopted.

Take Homes
JISC is about joining up, e-Science is about joining up – natural partners
Connecting people to resources – the Grid of People
– Datasets part of the infrastructure
– Making things a utility
Automating research
– Interaction between human-driven and machine-driven processes
Out of the lab, into The Wild - actually using stuff informs research
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 36
The Message
JISC is engaging with the research community
– Using– Developing– Sustaining
