(0)
we need to talk about the web
communicationdissemination
access, reuse, scale
as a platform
early forms of knowledge sharing
emergence of new communities, practice
broader access, engagement,
scale
(1)
there’s still friction in the system.
despite original intentions.
traditions last not because they are excellent, but because influential people are averse to change and because of the sheer burdens of
transition to a better state ...
“
“Cass Sunstein
(2)
doing good is part of our code
help researchers use the power of the open web to change science’s future.
our systems need to talk to one another.
both human and machine.
code as a research object
what’s needed to reuse ?
(3)
we need to build capacity, not just more nodes.
digital literacy
“Reliance on ad-hoc, self-
education about what’s
possible doesn’t scale.”
- Selena Decklemann
education as a means of building community
... globally, as well as across disciplines.
learn from open source(culture as well as technology)
current activity:129 instructors(60+, training)
109 bootcamps3700+ learners
in an increasingly digital, data-driven world, what core skills, tools
do the next-generation need?
(4)
shifting practice (and getting it to stick)
is challenging.... but not impossible.
disciplines as cultures
63 nations 10,000 scientists
50,000 participants
can we do the same for research on the web?
63 nations 10,000 scientists
50,000 participants
how can we bridge citizen / open / web-enabled?
tools and technologycultural awareness, best practice
connections, open dialogueskills training
what are the necessary components?
(5)
operating in isolation doesn’t scale.
coordination and collaboration are key.
design for interoperability.
remember the non-technical challenges.
join us (and the conversation.)teach, contribute, learn.
