Open Science Commons Interest Group & Working Group
Submitted by Simon Hodson
The proposed Interest Group stems from activities and outcomes in three prior BoF sessions on this topic. This session aims specifically to:
- Launch the new Interest Group
- Introduce participants to the concept of Open Science Commons - what they are and aren’t
- Brainstorm ideas and inputs for the initial Working Group(s)
- Solicit broader inputs and membership from relevant initiatives and stakeholders globally
Collaboration session notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AB2RdkFIH62B9AJuBPQ4u40iXjTfbxGz5C-psq0FEiA/edit?usp=sharing
The session will be a mix of presentation and facilitated plenary discussion. Presentations will offer a grounding in the topic and recent developments, outline Working Group plans, and gather feedback and inputs to help progress work.
Introductory grounding (15 mins) Sarah & Corina
- Definitions and examples of Open Science Commons
- The remit of the new Interest Group
- Report from the CODATA conference session in Beijing
Initiating the Working Group (60 mins) Andrew & Mark
- Proposals for initial pilot cases
- How to coordinate / synchronise topics
- Volunteers for pilots and WG chairs
Shaping the OSC agenda and global collaboration (15 mins) Juan
- Discussion on the overall mandate / mission and how to steer this via the IG
- Mapping out a potential timeline and intersections with related WGs and initiatives
The Open Science Commons IG and WG will coordinate global activity on the development of open science platforms. The Interest Group will hold the overall mission and define key activities for development through working groups. It will also socialise the community to the concept and value of such work. The first working group will define a typology for data commons and identify a few areas where we can productively work together in short projects.
Three BoF sessions have been run at previous events:
At the 11th RDA plenary in Berlin in March 2018 there was a BoF entitled Towards a Global Open Science Commons. This included presentations on the African Open Science Platform, the Australian Research Data Commons, the European Open Science Cloud, the NIH data commons and Canadian activities.
At International Data Week in Gaborone in November 2018, a SciDataCon session was held on Delivering a Global Open Science Commons. Again a number of presentations were given to profile existing work, after which the group discussion pointed to a number of next steps.
At the 13th Plenary in Philadelphia in April 2019 there was a BoF entitled Coordinating Global Open Science Commons initiatives. This session focused on group work to advance a typology and identification of areas in which it makes sense to collaborate and coordinate work.
Suggested literature for the Groups also includes:
Principles for Open Scholarly infrastructures https://cameronneylon.net/blog/principles-for-open-scholarly-infrastruct...
Elinor Ostrom’s Principles for Managing A Commons https://www.onthecommons.org/magazine/elinor-ostroms-8-principles-managi...
