SLIDE 4

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

SLIDE 5

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

SLIDE 6

Augmented PDF
Contains links to executable viewer
Downloads data and viewer as necessary to reproduce

paper images (results)

Example: OSA Interactive Science Publishing (ISP)

SLIDE 7

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

SLIDE 8

Example: Collaboration

NIH National Center of Biomedical Computing NA-MIC
Developing the OS NA-MIC Kit; 3D Slicer application

SLIDE 9

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)

SLIDE 10

Example: Business Models

Kitware: Building open source collaboration

platforms

Engaging in collaborative R&D
Providing technology integration services
Creating custom solutions

CMake CDash

SLIDE 11

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
