1 VRE-IG European View: Sustainability Keith G Jeffery
What is VRE sustainability? 2 Depends on how you define a VRE Is it just a user interface with portal, peer cooperative communication, maybe research management assistance Or that plus all the data, software, workflow, computing resources used by an individual or a community If the former Likely one organisation so sustainability can be planned If the latter Sustainability requires cooperation of many organisations / persons In both cases need a business plan
In Europe 3 Do we have any true VRE systems? Many portal systems Which may be regarded as simple VREs Tend to fall into two kinds: Those with a long lifetime funded by an organisation that accepts responsibility and has funds to do it (e.g. world data centre sites) Those with a short lifetime funded by a project for a particular purpose; e.g. a project to develop a VRE with an exemplar application domain
Possible Business Models 4 Funded by government long-term as a service Access to OGD (Open Government Data) Funded by publicly-funded research long-term Access to outputs of large research infrastructures where provision of access is part of thelong-term funding for the RI e.g. EMBL/EGI Funded by academic research community Component of research grant taken to fund the community VRE or funding taken off the top before grants awarded e.g. national RIs Funded by industry Direct subscriptions to access the results of publicly-funded research May also include contributions of data, software etc. by industry Set up as a business e.g. like portals in hotel, airline industry. Publishing industry has an interest here.
