Australian update

Very brief. Had an excellent time in South Australia hosted by Philip Lock. Presented to Computer Science Department at UNISA and developed more ideas in "can machines understand chemistry". A lot of synergy in discussion over XML, RDF, etc. Then a brief visit to the University of Adelaide to talk about eResearch. We spent time talking about what would be useful for Departmental Respositories (sic). This has helped my firm up my ideas well and I hope to post some detailed ideas soon. Shall be giving  a talk next Monday (2008-03-03) at Monash on scientific data. Have been overwhelmed by hospitality and have found a lot of commonality in our discussions.
