Oh my! - Katy S

it looks like semantic mediawiki? - Mike Chelen

here is a guide to import data (TSV, tab separated values) to Semantic MediaWiki with a script: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki... and some extensions for XML import: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki... - Mike Chelen

"collected resources for the Boston Open Source Science Lab (http://bosslab.org)" - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

Some of them were - classic moment of confusion, when I ask myself why I hadn't seen it before, then look at the source, realize it is me, and get really confused :-) Then I remember to check the date... - Cameron Neylon

"Scientific Publications cover a wide variety of publishers, hosts, business models, usage models, publication stages, logical and technical presentation. Therefore it is important to learn which portions of the publication space can be and which agents want to be included in the sampling. For those willing to participate only two aspects are relevant: 1. What data needs to be gathered? 2. How can it be transferred to the statistics provider? Open-Access-Statistics (OA-S) is a joint project adressing these questions. Starting in July 2008 an infrastructure for the standardised accumulation of heterogenous web log data with an emphasis on institutional repositories will be built. In tight cooperation with the Network of Open Access Repositories (OA-N) various added value services will be made available to users." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

D0r0th34: thrilled to see existing and ongoing exploration of the topic, which is a natural extension for scholarly repositories and a crucial goal for ongoing curation. now reading one of the linked papers, "Open Access Statistics: an examination how to generate interoperable usage information from distributed open access services" (Herb, Ulrich '09) http://www.dini.de/fileadm... - Mike Chelen

usage of open source software, and application of its principles, advances science research & publishing by allowing faster and more efficient replication and modification of new ideas - Mike Chelen

Interested in the contrast between open science and distributed science - can you have "closed" distributed science? Or is that just collaboration? - Richard Badge from Nambu

"The Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) 10-Year Implementation Plan explicitly acknowledges the importance of data sharing in achieving the GEOSS vision and anticipated societal benefits. The Plan, endorsed by nearly 60 governments and the European Commission at the Third Earth Observation Summit in Brussels in 2004, highlights the following GEOSS Data Sharing Principles: 1. There will be full and open exchange of data, metadata, and products shared within GEOSS, recognizing relevant international instruments and national policies and legislation. 2. All shared data, metadata, and products will be made available with minimum time delay and at minimum cost. 3. All shared data, metadata, and products being free of charge or no more than cost of reproduction will be encouraged for research and education." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

good to see a specific focus on "open exchange of data" and it will be interesting to hear the plans to achieve this - Mike Chelen

"The student Right to Research Coalition, a group of national, international, and local student associations that advocate for governments, universities, and researchers to adopt Open Access practices, has now grown to include some of the most prominent student organizations from the United States and across the world. The recent addition of 8 new organizations brings the number of students represented by the coalition to over 5 million, demonstrating the broad, passionate support Open Access enjoys from the student community." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

helps to appreciate the global reach and scale of these scientific concepts - Mike Chelen

wonder which existing published statements from CC science commons and other groups might discuss some of the topics raised? - Mike Chelen

"Dear all, last year, Michael opened a discussion to have bibliographic information displayed in package summaries: http://lists.debian.org/msgid-s... In the discussion that followed, we talked about where to store this information, and in which format, since adding more content to the debian/control file is not an easy thing (it ‘costs’ a lot because it goes to pivotal files like the Packages.gz files on our mirrors). A four line summary is available here: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianS... This year, some progresses are being made. For the display, Andreas has modified the ‘Web sentinels’ so that they can display bibliographic informations. See http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks... for instance. But currently the limitation of the system is that the bibliographic information is in a quite remote location, in the Blends ‘tasks’ files. I am currently working on a new workflow which would help the... more... - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"This talk was presented by Jean-Claude Bradley at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia on August 20, 2008. An introduction to Open Notebook Science is presented followed by an illustration of how ONS can be used in drug discovery. New data relating to the anti-malarial activity of Ugi products on 2 falcipain-2 docking sites is detailed. The docking calculations were provided by Rajarshi Guha and the enzyme and in vitro assays on Plasmodium falciparum were provided by Phil Rosenthal and Jiri Gut. Most of the syntheses were carried out by Khalid Mirza in the Bradley group." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

"Evolution of Physical Oceanography was created to mark the career of Henry M. Stommel, the leading physical oceanographer of the 20th Century and a longtime MIT faculty member. The authors of the different chapters were asked to describe the evolution of their subject over the history of physical oceanography, and to provide a survey of the state-of-the-art of their subject as of 1980. Many of the chapters in this textbook are still up-to-date descriptions of active scientific fields, and all of them are important historical records. This textbook is made available courtesy of The MIT Press." - Mike Chelen from Bookmarklet

A local faculty member has a bee in his bonnet to build one. If I can find models, I'd like to. If I can't... well, there's probably a reason. ;) - D0r0th34

Sounds like an ideal project for this OSU class project: http://cs.oregonstate.edu/capston... - Hope Leman
