bull Scientists need to be more open among themselves and with the public and media
bull Greater recognition needs to be given to the value of data gathering analysis and communication
bull Common standards for sharing information are required to make it widely usable
bull Publishing data in a reusable form to support findings must be mandatory
bull More experts in managing and supporting the use of digital data are required
bull New software tools need to be developed to analyse the growing amount of data being gathered
