SHOW US YOUR WORKING: AN ARCHAEOLOGY METHOD STOREDr. Anthony Beck
University of Leeds
Science in the open
Open Science, Open Process, New collaborations
It’s about the scientific process
The aim: connectivity
Traditional Process
Open Process
Open Methods
Open Methods provide transparent access to the process
The user controls and understands the data processing and transformation
From Black Box to White Box
The Method Store: VISION
A repository that facilitates the collaborative development of methodologies and stops the community re-inventing the methodological wheel.
A framework that is not intimidating for users, allowing all sectors of the domain to participate, but allows potentially rich data objects to be submitted (such as Taverna workflows).
A system that allows links to be drawn between methodologies to indicate, for example, synergy, workflow or provenance.
An environment which captures the cloud of discussion/narrative surrounding the development or forking of a method.
The Method Store: VISION
What is proposed is a methodology store: an environment within which methods, algorithms etc. can be • deposited, • shared, • tagged, • linked, • chained, • developed.
The Method Store: Content
The Future: Workflows
