The ETF is currently an active network whose funding is tied to the individual e-Science centres that made up the second phase of the core e-Science programme. As this will end in March 2009 it is highly likely, based on previous experience, that once funding has stopped for members of the current ETF that those members will cease to participate and as such we will start to loose the inherent knowledge that has built up during the length of the e-Science program. This is particularly true as these members of staff move to working on a single project during which there is little chance for external communication due to limited numbers of collaborators. This proposal will allow expansion through not tying the available funding to a particular set of centres, making the ability to disseminate to a highly technical network available to all members of the e-Science community. This will also allow for funded work to be done through groups that have until now had little or no contact with the e-Science program, for example university information services or institutional HPC providers. We are initially intending to have at least one participant from each e-Science centre though this will be flexibly arranged such that only those actively writing up outputs for presentation to the group will be funded. This is possible since the everyday engagement needed to the network by members is low (monthly Access Grid meetings) but the amount of advantage through dissemination of work from those reporting is very high. This way we will keep the group together as a repository of e-Science knowledge whilst effectively building on the already large amount of work that the ETF has been able to produce. As well as the monthly Access Grid meetings we will engage in quarterly face-to-face meetings, which for the most part will be to showcase the work done internally to the network and allow rigorous discussion to happen between members. By holding these meetings in an academic venue centrally located in the UK we are intending to maximize value for money, both in terms of real costs but also time which, for most researchers, is one of their most precious commodities. Through the initial continued engagement of the chair of the ETF into the management structure of the UK National Grid Service we are also intending that the technical knowledge that we will continue to build will be disseminated back to the production grid communities. One of the other key aspects of this proposal is our engagement with other relevant communities within the research are such as the campus Grids, HPC, digital repositories and visualization groups. Through them we will be able to bring further experience to the ETF network to which we may not normally have regular access. Another area that will be covered in this way is the emerging Web2.0 communities which have a very large amount to offer the e-Science community particularly in their ability to construct small easy to use tools. Overall the programme of work that the ETF network is intending to do will allow significant amounts of knowledge of e-Science programmes are no consigned to the archives but available for all to use as and when necessary.

ETF目前是一个主动网络，其资金与组成核心电子科学计划第二阶段的单个电子科学中心相关。由于这将在2009年3月结束，因此，基于以前的经验，一旦为当前ETF成员停止了资金，这些成员将停止参与，因此我们将开始失去在电子科学计划期间建立的固有知识。尤其如此，因为这些员工转向一个单个项目，在此过程中，由于合作者数量有限，因此很少有外部沟通的机会。该提案将通过不将可用资金与特定的一组中心联系起来，从而扩展，从而使E科学社区所有成员都可以传播到高度技术网络。这还将允许通过到目前为止与电子科学计划（例如大学信息服务或机构HPC提供商）几乎没有联系的小组进行资助的工作。最初，我们打算从每个电子科学中心中至少有一个参与者，尽管这将灵活地安排，以便只有那些积极地撰写输出以向小组介绍的人才会得到资助。这是可能的，因为会员网络所需的日常参与度很低（每月访问网格会议），但是通过从报告中传播工作的优势量很高。这样，我们将将小组作为电子科学知识的存储库保持在一起，同时有效地建立在ETF能够生产的已经大量工作的基础上。除了每月的访问网格会议外，我们还将参加季度面对面的会议，在大多数情况下，这将是展示与网络内部进行的工作，并允许会员之间进行严格的讨论。通过在英国中心举行的学术场地举行这些会议，我们打算在实际成本方面最大限度地提高价值的价值，而且对于大多数研究人员来说，这是他们最宝贵的商品之一。通过ETF主席的最初继续参与英国国家电网服务的管理结构，我们还希望我们将继续建造的技术知识将被传播回生产网格社区。该提案的其他关键方面之一是我们与研究中其他相关社区的交往是校园电网，HPC，数字存储库和可视化组。通过它们，我们将能够为我们通常无法定期访问的ETF网络带来进一步的经验。将以这种方式覆盖的另一个领域是新兴的Web2.0社区，这些社区提供了很大数量，可以为电子科学社区提供尤其是其构建易于使用工具的小型能力。总体而言，ETF网络打算执行的工作计划将允许大量的电子科学程序知识委托档案，但可以在必要时使用所有人。
