What are the obstacles which need to be overcome?
One problem we have had was that the project was often identified as a “usability” project and that people were confused about our object of study (i.e., they might think we were interested in building easier to use portals for access to e-Research). Another problem that we still need to tackle is how we can get this kind of work embedded in the development of e-Research technologies, how we can get the technologists to take on board some of our concepts and reshape the way they are engaging with users and usage.
