I've snipped a few lists in the mail header.

Science is very varied. We can easily imagine:

   - high-energy physics (etabytes)
   - astronomy - highly multidisciplinary with many images
   - bio-informatics very multidisciplinary with very many distributed
   sources
   - long-tail science - where individual labs capture much data without
   coordination
   - environment and geoscience - where authorities collect data
   systematically
   - climate data

I know enough to tackle 3 slightly and 4 and people to contact in the
others (but not necessarily OKF). We need at least 10 people to get a
reasonable overview. Alternatively we might split into subdisciplines like
this.

I have been invited to speak in Rome (where Neelie Kroes is also speaking)
so it's valuable to get something underway!!
