tools to support them and to advise on the future strategic direction of e-Social Science and e-Science.” We have always considered that main function of MoSeS within the e-Social Science programme has been as a demonstrator of the value of eResearch technologies within the context of a specific application domain. The positive feedback we have received from many disciplinary and trans-national audiences indicates that this message has been well-received. At a global scale, the number of e-Research applications to real social science problems remains alarmingly small. MoSeS has developed its own eResearch tools for data integration, mapping, computation, security and archiving. We have contributed to NCeSS efforts to develop eResearch tools, particularly in relation to mapping, data management and security, through the ESRC e-Infrastructure project, and collaborations with GEMEDA enabling census datasets) , and SEE-GEO (a JISC-funded project for grid-enabling map data at EDINA, with whom we have an institutional collaboration agreement). We have also helped NCeSS to raise its international profile through our involvement in the EUAsiaGrid project, and have contributed to evolving international standards for handling map data through involvement with OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium). In common with the other nodes and NCeSS Hub, we have shared responsibility as members of the NCeSS Strategy Board for the ongoing and future development of Social Science in the UK. 9.
