AN ARCHAEOLOGY
METHOD STORE
Dr. Anthony Beck

10. Science in the open

13. Open Science, Open Process,
New collaborations

20. It’s about the scientific process

21. The aim: connectivity

24. Traditional Process

26. Open Process

27. Open Methods
 Open Methods provide transparent access
to the process
 The user controls and understands the
data processing and transformation
 From Black Box to White Box

28. The Method Store: VISION
 A repository that facilitates the collaborative
development of methodologies and stops the
community re-inventing the methodological wheel.
 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).
 A system that allows links to be drawn between
methodologies to indicate, for example, synergy,
workflow or provenance.
 An environment which captures the cloud of
discussion/narrative surrounding the development or
forking of a method.

29. The Method Store: VISION
 What is proposed is a methodology store: an
environment within which methods, algorithms
etc. can be
• deposited,
• shared,
• tagged,
• linked,
• chained,
• developed.
