Imagine a cyberinfrastructure that builds a data archive! Well the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the US has a massive call for proposals to build just that a Sustainable Digital Data Preservation and Access Network Partners (DataNet) I am so jealous of those folks! Canada has no equivalent to an NSF and does not invest in the future access of data at all! The Canadian Digital Information Strategy document will be released for public consultation in October but it is no where near as comprehensive as the Cyberinfrastructure work. The Cyberinfrastructure Vision for 21st Century Discovery is well worth reading.

- Musing (about infrastructures) from my reading of Cyberinfrastructure documents sometime ago -Â Infrastructure learning, More, even more, public reason!
