Description
LifeWatch will construct and bring into operation the facilities, hardware, software and governance structures for all aspects of biodiversity research. It will provide a technical infrastructure with data at its core. In this talk we focus on short-term priorities of LifeWatch dealing with the most basic services needed for data access and integration. What virtual labs have already been built, what are the next steps and in what way do we envisage these and future labs to develop into a coherent infrastructure? What challenges will this pose for existing and new data and computing infrastructures?
