New project: BlogMyData

BlogMyData will combine two existing systems to create a new Virtual Research Environment for environmental scientists. By combining the capabilities of an online environmental data visualization system with a sophisticated blogging and collaboration engine, we will create a new facility for scientists to collaborate on important tasks of data interpretation, focusing on the diagnosis of the latest cutting-edge numerical simulations of the climate and oceans.  The HiGEM community will be our first guinea-pigs.

This project is a collaboration between the ReSC and the Chemistry Department of the University of Southampton. It is funded by JISC under the Virtual Research Environment Rapid Innovation theme, and was enabled by the e-Research South platform grant.

As you might imagine, this project has its own blog.  This picture illustrates the main components of the proposed system.  More details can be found in the project proposal.
