Open Science
Open Documents - Hypothesis - Descriptions - Results
Open Data
Open Methodology - Experimental apparatus - Software - Workflow - Parameter Sets
Ensuring reproducibility
If it isn’t reproducible, it isn’t science
REPRODUCIBILITY
Positive Evidence
Accumulate Support
Negative Evidence
Disproof Hypothesis
Example: Insight Journal Timely publishing of publications, data, and software Evaluated automatically; further reviewed by community
Code
Input Data
Journal Git Repository
Web Site
Results Data
Author
Build Machines
PDF doc
Augmented PDF Contains links to executable viewer Downloads data and viewer as necessary to reproduce
paper images (results)
Example: OSA Interactive Science Publishing (ISP)
Benefits of Open Science
Collaboration - Leveraging international communities
and expertize
Innovation - Facilitate technology mashups - Move science to application faster - More focus on technology; less on protection
Business Models
- Growing the pie, creating new opportunities - Customization, software integration
“…much of our intelligence and creativity results from interactions with tools and artifacts and from collaborating with other individuals.”
-- Shneiderman
Example: Collaboration NIH National Center of Biomedical Computing NA-MIC Developing the OS NA-MIC Kit; 3D Slicer application
Example: Innovation (Open Source for Medical Imaging)
Led to the creation of: - ITK
- VolView
- BioImageXD
- Osirix
- MedINRIA
- VisTrails
- NIH / NCI caBIG – XIP
- VR-Renderer
- IGSTK
- ParaView
- Etc….
Creating VTK (Visualization Toolkit)
Example: Business Models
Kitware: Building open source collaboration platforms - Engaging in collaborative R&D - Providing technology integration services - Creating custom solutions
CMake
CDash
The Open Technology Highway
Provide an open infrastructure - Support research, teaching, non-profit
and commercial activities - Any (legal) activity can hang off of the highway
- Spur innovation, create opportunities - Get from idea to product faster
- Do not have to replicate technology - Too many toll gates (i.e., closed systems)
slows everything down
