!["My dear Francesco, I have lately kept praising the age in
which we live, because of the great, indeed divine gift of
the new kind of writing which was recently brought to us
from Germany. In fact, I saw a single man printing in a
single month as much as could be written by hand by
several persons in a year. ... It was for this reason that I
was led to hope that within a short time we would have
such a large quantity of books that there wouldn't be a
single work which could not be procured ... Yet — oh false
and all too human thoughts — I see that things turned out
quite differently [...] now that everyone is free to print
whatever they wish, they often disregard that which best
and instead write, merely for the sake of entertainment,
what would best be forgotten, or, better still, be erased
from all books. And even when they write something
worthwhile they twist and corrupt it to the point where it
would be much better to do without such books [...]"

Building a Network of Open Correspondence Projects. A model for Open Science
- 1. Building a Network of Open Correspondence Projects A model for Open Science Francesca Di Donato SNS - ERC francesca.didonato@sns.it This presentation is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Open Platforms for Digital Humanities II Towards a Network of Open Correspondence Projects Cortona, September 26-27 2013
- 2. A network of Correspondences: Why?
- 3. There are many project on the Web Letters create graphs between persons/ places The Web is a graph too
- 4. Topology of the Network The existence of a path from a node to another one is a graph property - it doesn’t depend on our ability to find it (Euler, 1736) Direct network Small world network Hubs and authorities Pareto principle
- 6. Digital On-line Open Linked Our primary sources (data) must be
- 7. Access to data (physical layer: libraries, archives) Manuscripts (quality, reusability) Transcriptions (open formats - XML) Metadata Critical edition’s criteria Other results Documentation
- 8. What can I do with (legal layer)? Manuscripts Transcriptions Metadata Critical edition’s criteria Other results Documentation + +
- 9. Use of open standards (technological layer) Linked Data Shared standards (XML-TEI ) Open source software
- 12. Some examples 1. Polymath Project (2009) A collaborative space for mathematical research 3. HapMap (2002) http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ The goal of the International HapMap Project is to develop a haplotype map of the human genome which will describe the common patterns of human DNA sequence variation 2. GenBank (1996) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/ Genetic data are immediately shared online
- 13. 4. Galaxy Zoo http://www.galaxyzoo.org/ 200.000 volounteers cooperate with a group of experts in classifying galaxies 5. Wikipedia (2000 - on) A collaborative Encyclopedia 6. MAPPA Project (2011-14) Study predictive computational tools applicable to the archaeological potential of an urban area Create the first italian open digital archaeological archive 7. Transcribe Bentham http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/transcribe-bentham/ A collaborative transcription project
- 14. A community of knowledge in a republic of letters
- 15. change the "traffic direction" of science
- 16. how groups can work together to manage the commons (intangible goods)?
- 17. 1. Demanding open science
- 18. Funding agencies policies (ERC, Horizon2020, National Science Foundation) Results (OA mandatory) Data (OA mandatory; fundings only for digitized documents)
- 19. 2. Encourage open science
- 20. How adopting new ways of sharing can become an imperative for scientists as it is today publishing an article?
