Opportunities for LMIC Researchersfrom the Data Deluge
In many research fields, data becoming more open
Public data gradually becoming more open as well
Placement of sites in LMIC - Square Kilometre Array

Example - Bioinformatics
PBytes of Omic data freely available
Good basic Science can be done just by analysing these data sets
Clear results from test species could be applied to local species

Square Kilometre Array
Array of Radio Telescopes
Most of these to be South Africa
South Africa wants to own thisnot just be the site
1 PByte of data per day

Challenges
Absence/deficit of infrastructureEquipment / Electricity / IT Support; Internet access - though improvingOnline collaboration and communities
Absence/deficit of awareness (leading to funding gap)
Absence/deficit of education and training

Solutions
Provide training through Summer School systemto create cohort of Professionals who cognisant in
Research Data Science
Provide access to cloud computing resources that have the data

OrganisationsCo-chair of Working Group RDA/CODATA Summer Schools
in Data Science and Cloud Computing in the Developing World
RDA - young organisation (<3 years) for Data sharing
CODATA - 40 year old organisation with deep interestin developing world research

Schools in ResearchData Science
Give attendees an introduction to principles behind Data Science and how it can be applied.
Aim to make this a professional qualification
Focus on standards avoid reinvention of the wheel
sharing data

Cloud Computing
Technical solution to infrastructure problem
Cost for individual LMIC researcher is barrier
Free at the point of use cloud facilities

Use case - North African Bioinformatics
Potential user community based in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt
Suggestion - Federated clouds to find resources in “the cracks”.
