27. Open Methods
ïš Open Methods provide transparent access
to the process
ïš The user controls and understands the
data processing and transformation
ïš From Black Box to White Box
28. The Method Store: VISION
ïš A repository that facilitates the collaborative
development of methodologies and stops the
community re-inventing the methodological wheel.
ïš A framework that is not intimidating for users, allowing
all sectors of the domain to participate, but allows
potentially rich data objects to be submitted (such as
Taverna workflows).
ïš A system that allows links to be drawn between
methodologies to indicate, for example, synergy,
workflow or provenance.
ïš An environment which captures the cloud of
discussion/narrative surrounding the development or
forking of a method.
29. The Method Store: VISION
ïš What is proposed is a methodology store: an
environment within which methods, algorithms
etc. can be
âą deposited,
âą shared,
âą tagged,
âą linked,
âą chained,
âą developed.
