Description
This presentation will give an overview of the rapid development over the past 15 years of what is often called the “Fourth Paradigm” leading to Open Science and Open Innovation. A number of examples from research infrastructures will be used to illustrate the current situation and the role of global organisations like the Research Data Alliance have in bringing about the revolution in Data Science which is fundamental to this approach. As the internet of things develops some ideas will be shared about the possible future including the impact on the way society copes with the implications.
