Lessons from myExperiment: Two insights into emerging e-Research practice

"The design of the myExperiment social web site for scientists adopted the Web 2.0 design principles, investigating the question: does Web 2.0 work for scientists? Two years later the site has thousands of users and the largest public collection of scientific workflows of its kind. Here we reflect on two of the Web 2.0 design principles and the insights we have gained into Web 2.0 for researchers. They reveal new forms of sharable object and new ways of assembling data and services."
