The issue of access has multiple aspects and hence workable solutions will necessarily have to include all the relevant dimensions. Therefore, a distinction should be made that having high Internet connectivity and a few streets of Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, and Pretoria lined with gold do not necessarily reflect the abject poverty and the high levels of illiteracy still facing the critical masses in South Africa and the broader South African Development Community (SADC)

We must deal with issues that concern higher education and compromise the very scientific nature of investigation. The Symposium on Open Access and the Public Domain in Digital Data and Information for Science is therefore not only relevant in giving expression in the convergence of the various science domains and their complimentary nature through the advent of the ICTs but also to cement ICSU's goal of bringing together scientists worldwide in nongovernmental, international, and interdisciplinary scientific endeavour for the benefit and well-being of humanity.
