What are cyberinfrastructures ?• “a layer of information,
expertise, standards, policies, tools, and services that are shared broadly across communities of inquiry but developed for specific scholarly purposes : cyberinfrastructure is something more specific than the network itself, but it is something more general than a tool or a resource developed for a particular project, a range of projects, or, even more broadly, for a particular discipline.”
Infrastructures are a mix of hardware and software
Infrastructures are highly connected
But what are they built upon ?
Infrastructures are made to be built upon
Infrastructures in national history

IN2P3… all are « national » (institutes, societies, or centers) and more or less dependant from national administration
