The New Discovery ParadigmFor Science and Beyond…
The One-Slide Version
http://www.igpp.ucla.edu/public/tking/The-New-Discovery-Paradigm.pptx
VisionA data cloud built with open metadata, open services, open sharing and standard formats.
This shifts the data focus so that:“What” is more important than “Where”. (the essence of a cloud)
Virtual Observatories (aggregators) are the interface to the cloud.
Guiding PrinciplesFor Science Information
SystemsA System with: Involvement of scientists in each stage of the process Openly accessible data that are independently
scientifically usable. Every resource has a Universal Resource Identifier (URI).
Preserve all available knowledge about a resource. Provenance Caveats Annotations Associations Publications
… Trusted archives
Sharing Results

ChallengesRobustness
Its accessible and reliable.Completeness
Its the most definitive source of information. Quality Assurance
It can be trustedUsability of Data Formats
One click rendering and analysisPreservation
Keeping things safe for the future.Seamless
Easily transition from data discovery to evaluation to analysis to publication.
Meeting the Challenges It takes effort to meet the challenges
This is best met as a social effort (many people working collectively)
Many of the challenges are being met by today’s virtual observatories in: Astronomy (IVOA) Planetary (PDS) Heliophysics (HPDE) Earth Science ()
Further refinement and enhancements are happening nowCross discipline usage and seamless integration remain a
challenge to be met.
