The MPI for Psycholinguistics initiated a series of eScience seminars within the Max Planck Society. These seminars focus on necessary preconditions to enable science to benefit from distributed network environments like the Internet or the Grid in an effective manner. The eScience Seminar is coordinated by Marc Kemps-Snijders (chair), Bernhard Neumair, Ulrich Schwardmann, Thomas Soddemann, Stefan Heinzel, Laurent Romary, Malte Dreyer, Robert Casties, Hermann Schier, Rainer Gerling, Uwe Brahm, Gerhard Weikum, Peter Wittenburg.

Research life cycle[edit]
- Changes in research methodology
- Changes in research questions and discourse
- "Communication" and "interdisciplinarity" - impact in the three sections of the MPG
Functional aspects[edit]
- Integration and Interoperability
- Virtual Organizations
- Virtual collaborations
- "Break down the barriers"
Enabling technologies[edit]
- Grid Technologies
- Certification and PKI infrastructure
- Authentification and authorization
- Web services
- Grid software
- Repositories
- Federation technologies
- Relevant standards
- Semantic Web Technologies
- Metadata/registries
- Schemas
- Concept registries
- Ontologies
- Media technologies
- Linguistic and text technologies
- Relevant standards
Legal and ethical aspects[edit]
- Basis of federations
- Open Access Movement
- IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) and legal framewokr
- Licensing
- Ethical questions
Political / strategic issues[edit]
- International activities (e.g. UK, USA, France, NL)
- Activities supported / funded by EU
- Positioning of MPG?
- Political activities of MPG?
eScience Seminar Topics 2007 are
- service and information registries (22/23. Märx Göttingen)
- secure server and service systems (20/21. Juni München)
- open archivable formats (25/26/ Oktober Berlin)
The flyer describing the eScience seminars in 2007 can be downloaded here (eScience_Flyer_2006-11-07.pdf). After the two first seminars the BAR decided that the series should be continued. A draft version of a document describing concrete results and planned activities can be found under [Results]. A special expert group dealing with setting up distributed authentication and authorization infrastructure (AAI) has been setup. For details see [Working Groups].
Topics are:
- service registries
- authentication & authorization infrastructure (AAI)
AAI expert group[edit]
the next meeting will be at Do. 26. July 2007 in MPI Solid State Science, Stuttgart, 10:00 - 17.00.
Subject will be federation policies and attribute sets. We will have a close look on policies from
- DFN DFN-AAI
- DFN-AAI Anforderungen an IdP, SP
- AAR Vascoda [1]
- DFN-AAI Anforderungen an IdP, SP
- Switch Switch AAI
- Switchaai-Federation Attributes, Policies, Organiszion
Attribute Sets[edit]
- schac, schema for academia, TERENA schac
- HISperson LDAP Schema, Hochschul-Informations-System GmbH, there was no no actual schema found, only a presentation of Peter Gietz, DAASI [2]
- comparison of higher education attributes sets, mace, Nov. 2005 comparison of attribute sets
- introduction to Shibboleth attributes, Peter Gietz, DAASI, DFN workshop Feb. 2007 [3]
Further Informations[edit]
