Call for Linked Research
========================
Purpose: To encourage the “do it yourself” behaviour for sharing and
reusing research knowledge.
Deadline: You decide.
From http://csarven.ca/call-for-linked-research :
Scientists and researchers who work in Web Science have to follow the
rules that are set by the publisher; researchers need to have read and
reuse access to other researchers work, and adopt archaic desktop-native
publishing workflows. Publishers try to remain as the middleman for
society’s knowledge acquisition.
Nowadays, there is more machine-friendly data and documentation made
available by the public sector than the Linked Data research community.
The general public asks for open and machine-friendly data, and they are
following up. Web research publishing on the other hand, is stuck on one
★ (star) Linked Data deployment scheme. The community has difficulty
eating its own dogfood for research publication, and fails to deliver
its share of the promise.
There is a social problem. Not a technical one. If you think that there
is something fundamentally wrong with this picture, want to voice
yourself, and willing to continue to contribute to the vision of the
Web, then please consider the following before you write your research:
Linked Research: Do It Yourself
1. Publish your research and findings at a Web space that you control.
2. Publish your progress and work following the Linked Data design
principles. Create a URI for everything that is of some value to you and
may be to others e.g., hypothesis, workflow steps, variables,
provenance, results etc.
3. Reuse and link to other researchers URIs of value, so nothing goes to
waste or reinvented without good reason.
4. Create a strong user experience in the spirit of science: Use screen
and print stylesheets. Create a copy of a view for the research
community to fulfil organisational requirements. Design interactive
user-interfaces for improved communication and education.
5. Announce your work publicly so that people and machines can discover it.
6. Have an open comment system policy for your document so that any
person or machine can give feedback.
7. Help, encourage, and motivate others to do the same.
There is no central authority to judge the value of your contributions.
You do not need permission to publish! Control your own research and
communication.
