Current state of play for Panton Papers. My contribution to the Panel on Open Access and Open Data this afternoon at #oss2010.
I have been releasing a new Panton Paper pre-draft every 1-2 days. These are nuclei for communal editing to work towards “rough consensus and running implementability”. They are not, naysayers, cast in stone. You are welcome to hack them through the OKF Open wikis, Etherpads and other tools.
Panton Papers on Open Data
Already published:
-
Open Data: The concept of Panton Papers
-
PP1_0.1: What is Scientific Data? (we need to know what we are Opening!)
-
PP2_0.1: Why Scientific Data should be Open (we need clear arguments)
-
PP3_0.1: Who owns Scientific Data? Anyone? (a very complex topic)
-
PP4_0.1: Repositories for Scientific Data (already generating different views)
Not yet published (the numbers may vary)
- PP5_0.1 When should data be released? (absolutely fundamental and a lot of hard work)
- PP6_0.1 Access to text- and –data-mining. (Firewalled publications are often contractually barred from this. The data must be minable)
- PP7_0.1 Reproducibility. The data must cater for being used in reproducible science (cf. Victoria Stodden)
- PP8_0.1 Semantic data. Linked Open Data – the dream of many of us – depends on semantic data
