Policies for e-Infrastructures

The various organisations participating in an e-infrastructure are likely to have their own policies on its use; harmonising those policies offers an opportunity to implement them more accurately, efficiently and effectively. This paper discusses how policies are likely to interact and how those developing policies can benefit from the coordination provided by using a common infrastructure.
