1. We are very grateful for the advice given by the participants at the panel session in the Oxford e-Research Conference, particularly: Professor Dan Atkins, Professor Bonnigton, Professor Christine Borgman, Professor Jane Hunter and Professor Yorrick Wilks. The EPSRC's support, grant EP/D079829/1, for Professor Atkinson as the UK's e-Science Envoy has provided the resources for him to lead the Strategy Working Group. All other members of the WG have been supported by their institutions and projects.
