Abstract

Escience technologies are designed to address problems arising in the practice of computational science. The outcome of computational science is the generation of data, and a significant portion of these problems concern Information Delivery: the process of disseminating data across virtual organizations, and of contextualizing that data so that relevant quantities may be extracted and examined with the minimum of difficulty. This paper describes some of these issues encountered in the particular field of computational mineral science, and the solutions that the eMinerals consortium has developed to address them.
