NC Science Blogging Conference: Open Data (I don't know what the exact title was)

Xan Gregg

reproducible, archived, prevent/detect fraud

survey of journal authors
- “available upon request”
- “… with qualifications” (pay, for qualified researchers)

example American economic review data policy
“authors … that contain.. must provide.. sufficient for ..”

benefits of published data
ex: climate change, “more guns, less crime”, better visualizations
quality control, better analysis, better visualizations

how to publish data
raw, plain text, xml, sql database, datasharing sites (many eyes, swivel, wikis)


Jean-Claude Bradley
real time, using a number of tools, to get to open notebook science

walked us through his blogs and the types of posts he makes
- announcing collaborations
- local news
- results
- shipping products
- some science philosophy

blog links to wiki entry for experiment which links to chemspider, methods info, raw data (spectra, etc)

comparing experiments

log system
(results centric view, so that if you drop the vial then everything up to that point can still be used)

people are using his stuff (know through analytics)
- troubleshooting their own experiments

also discuss failures

(I needed to plug in so from here we talked about scalability, findablility, the feasibility of mandating deposit of data)
