official schedule and Saturday updated version, Fora.TV recordings, backchan.nl, kanzure's live transcripts
Motivation
- Discovered in Hplus Summit Harvard
- Because of the PDT schedule and my own interest I will try to focus on Theme 2: The Scientific Process and Theme 4: The Open Innovation Paradigm
Introduction, Q&A (started at about 4:42pm PDT)
- presentation of several participants including
- Home Carole Goble admin of myExperiment (linked before at ElegantSolutions#ExperimentsTools)
- member of Mendeley (linked before at Education)
- Q&A with the 4 panelists
- definition of OpenScience
- open=available to anyone in the world to do whatever they want with it without any restriction
- pre-publication vs. post-publication selection vs. "radical" sharing
- including data
- definition of OpenScience
(feed down from ~5pm to ~5:30pm)
