Where is Open Going?
The answer depends on who you ask
Here is my biased viewpoint
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 3
My Background/Bias• Mostly Biomedical
• RCSB PDB/IEDB Database Developer – Views on community, quality, sustainability …
• PLOS Journal Co-founder – Open Science Advocate• Associate Vice Chancellor for Innovation – Business
models, interaction with the private sector,sustainability• Professor – Mentoring, reward system, value (or not) of
research
• NIH Strategist/Transformer - ??

2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 4
Perhaps the first question to ask is:
What is the endpoint?

What Does The Democratization of Science Imply?
• The obvious – participation by all• Not so obvious
– More scrutiny – New types of rewards– More equal value placed on all participants– The removal of artificial boundaries that corral
knowledge (through power and resources) within silos that do not make sense as complexity increases
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 7
Consider some personal examples that illustrate these implications
3/01/14
More Scrutiny – Highlights Lack of Reproducibility
• I can’t immediately reproduce the research in my own laboratory:
• It took an estimated 280 hours for an average user to approximately reproduce the paper
• Workflows are maturing and becoming helpful• Data and software versions and accessibility
prevent exact reproducibility
Daniel Garijo et al. 2013 Quantifying Reproducibility in Computational Biology: The Case of the Tuberculosis Drugome PLOS ONE 8(11) e80278 .
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 83/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 9
Why New Types of Rewards?
• I have a paper with 16,000 citations that no one has ever read
• I have papers in PLOS ONE that have more citations than ones in PNAS
• I have data sets I am proud of few places to put them
• I edited a journal but it did not count for much
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 10
Equal Value Placed on Participants
• The UC System has Research Scientists (RS) & Project Scientists (PS) as well as tenured faculty -– RS/PS have no senate rights yet:– RS/PS frequently teach– RS/PS frequently have more grant money– RS/PS typically perform more service– RS/PS are most of the data scientists you know

Are Increasingly Found on the Google Bus

2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 12
Institutional Boundaries
• Academia – Departments of physics, math, biology, chemistry etc. persist but scholars rarely confine themselves to these disciplines
• NIH – 27 institutes and centers, many dedicated to specific diseases & conditions – yet a specific gene may transcend ICs
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 13
I have argued that the democratization of science is compelling
I have not argued for the value of open access to this picture because you know that already
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 14
I Would Also Argue That This Process is About to Accelerate
• Others provide a more compelling argument:– Google car– 3D printers– Waze– Robotics

So what will this look like for an institution?
3/01/14
Institutions will become digital enterprises
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 17
Components of The Academic Digital Enterprise
• Consists of digital assets– E.g. datasets, papers, software, lab notes
• Each asset is uniquely identified and has provenance, including access control– E.g. publishing simply involves changing the access
control• Digital assets are interoperable across the
enterprise
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 18
Life in the Academic Digital Enterprise
• Jane scores extremely well in parts of her graduate on-line neurology class. Neurology professors, whose research profiles are on-line and well described, are automatically notified of Jane’s potential based on a computer analysis of her scores against the background interests of the neuroscience professors. Consequently, professor Smith interviews Jane and offers her a research rotation. During the rotation she enters details of her experiments related to understanding a widespread neurodegenerative disease in an on-line laboratory notebook kept in a shared on-line research space – an institutional resource where stakeholders provide metadata, including access rights and provenance beyond that available in a commercial offering. According to Jane’s preferences, the underlying computer system may automatically bring to Jane’s attention Jack, a graduate student in the chemistry department whose notebook reveals he is working on using bacteria for purposes of toxic waste cleanup. Why the connection? They reference the same gene a number of times in their notes, which is of interest to two very different disciplines – neurology and environmental sciences. In the analog academic health center they would never have discovered each other, but thanks to the Digital Enterprise, pooled knowledge can lead to a distinct advantage. The collaboration results in the discovery of a homologous human gene product as a putative target in treating the neurodegenerative disorder. A new chemical entity is developed and patented. Accordingly, by automatically matching details of the innovation with biotech companies worldwide that might have potential interest, a licensee is found. The licensee hires Jack to continue working on the project. Jane joins Joe’s laboratory, and he hires another student using the revenue from the license. The research continues and leads to a federal grant award. The students are employed, further research is supported and in time societal benefit arises from the technology.

The focus is on data, but I do not think that can be separated from the research life cycle as you will see…
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 22
I Want To Engage With This Community To:
• Help me understand the most pressing problems
• Begin a dialog • Inform you of what I am currently thinking• Inform you of relevant NIH initiatives that are
underway or planned• Have you change my thinking appropriately

We need to start by asking, how are we using the data now?
Only then can we make rational decisions about data – large or small

Let me come back to the big picture..
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 35
First consider what we do (or wish we could do) every day:
We take actions on digital data increasingly across boundaries
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 36
Actions on Biomedical Data Implies:
• Insuring data quality and hence trust• Making data sustainable• Making data open and accessible• Making data findable• Providing suitable metadata and annotation• Making data queryable• Making data analyzable• Presenting data as to maximize its value• Rewarding good data practices3/01/14

Boundaries on Biomedical Data Implies:
• Working across biological scales• Working across biomedical disciplines• Working across basic and clinical research and
practice• Working across institutional boundaries• Working across public and private sectors• Working across national and international
borders• Working across funding agencies3/01/14

These issues have been around a long time
The good news is that “Big Data” has bought more attention to the problem
3/01/14
2014 SPARC Annual Meeting 41
What Are Big Data?
• Large datasets from high throughput experiments
• Large numbers of small datasets• Data which are “ill-formed”• The why (causality) is replaced by the what• A signal that a fundamental change is taking
place – a tipping point?

1. A link brings up figures from the paper
0. Full text of PLoS papers stored in a database
2. Clicking the paper figure retrievesdata from the PDB which is
analyzed
3. A composite view ofjournal and database
content results
One Possible End Point
1. User clicks on thumbnail2. Metadata and a
webservices call provide a renderable image that can be annotated
3. Selecting a features provides a database/literature mashup
4. That leads to new papers
4. The composite view haslinks to pertinent blocks
of literature text and back to the PDB

Where is Open Going?
• Slowly towards the democratization of science• Which changes how institutions think and
operate – they become digital enterprises• This in turn impacts the scholarly research
lifecycle and hence scholarly communication
• I will be working to help the NIH be a leading institution in this change
