The LabTrove story http://www.labtrove.org

How do we If you cant describe whatcommunicate? you are doing as a process, you dont know what• Surprisingly difficult to youre doing. W. Edwards Deming explain what a process involves• Much of the detail is assumed to be understood and not explicitly discussed Growing need for the global (virtual)• This is where the mis- equivalent of the understandings usually “Tea Room” arise.

LabTrove Open Notebooks Mat Todd’s PZQ Project

Open Notebooks• Troves can be open Read/Comment/Write – Can control this access so it is your choice• All contributions attributable (login needed) – Anonymous contributions not usually enabled• Open contribution does worry the IT services – Provides potential pathway for abuse of systems – Not just our systems

Global open scientific notebook infrastructure• Global collaboration: – International – Interdisciplinary• Open science• To ascend the knowledge pyramid, we need open collaboration and sharing of results

We must speed up the knowledge discovery process All I am saying is that now is the time to develop the technology to deflect an asteroid
