 and that the core scientific tasks of conceiving,
 designing and running experiments needs to be managed at an ever increasing scale.

+focus on solving problems of model training and deployment for specific technologies\cite{Alberti:2018,MolnerDomenech:2020}, and hence have limited generality.
 
 Platforms for eScience offer a variety of solutions for these problems including  
 tracking the lineage and management of data, referred to as
