![Why? Publication
• Publications are about argumentation: Convince
the reader of the validity of a position [Mesirov]
– Reproducible Results System: facilitates
enactment and publication of reproducible
research.
• Results are reinforced by reproducability [De
Roure]
– Explicit representation of method.
• Verifiability as a key factor in scientific discovery.

- 7. • An aggregation object that bundles together experimental resources that are essential to a computational scientific study or investigation. – An identity – A suite of annotations (which can be about this bundle and/or the resources of the bundle) – Aggregated Resources: data used results produced in an experiment study; (computational) methods employed to produce and analyse that data; people involved in the investigation. Research Objects 7
- 8. Annotations • Essential to the understanding and interpretation of the scientific outcomes captured by a Research Object as well as the reuse of the resources within it. – Provenance information about the experiments, the study or any other experimental resources – Evolution information about the Research Object and its resources, – Descriptions of computational methods – Dependency information or settings about the experiment executions 8
