eScience has emerged as an important framework for dramatically rethinking the conduct of scientific research using information
technology. There is an unparalleled opportunity for the international eScience and digital library communities to create
shared infrastructure to support the conduct of science from end-to-end; i.e., from hypothesis generation, to collecting and
analyzing scientific data, to the reporting of research outcomes, and the inclusion of scientific data and models in teaching
and learning processes. For this vision to be realized, the two communities must establish a shared vision and research agenda
encompassing several critical dimensions, including differences in theoretical and methodological approaches, and collaboration
goals. Additionally, for the benefits of eScience and digital libraries to be fully realized, it is vital to establish a shared
vision of the broader impact of this work for educators, learners, and the general public.
