The next meeting will be Wednesday 7 September, 17:30 GMT. You can sign up

 UPDATES:

   1. *Royal Society Science as a Public Enterprise Submission*
   Thank you to all those who joined in the Skype call on this and
   contributed to the notes and draft. You can view our submission
here<http://okfnpad.org/sciencewg-RS-SAPE>
   .
   2. *Wikimedian in Residence on Open Science*
   As detailed in a previous blog
post<http://science.okfn.org/2011/07/26/wikimedian-in-residence-on-open-science/>,
   Daniel Meitchen is now the Wikimedian in Residence on Open Science. OKF
   Germany are the host and there is a lot of incentive for us to collaborate.
   You can read Daniel’s detailed rundown of the
opportunities<http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-science/2011-July/000899.html>
for
   the group to get involved and check out what has been achieved so
far<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedian_in_Residence_on_Open_Science/Outcomes>
   ..
   3. *Panton Principles Case Studies*
   Three case studies have been drafted
here<http://okfnpad.org/sciencewg-PPcasestudies> on
   the Human Genome Project, Kepler Mission and 2011 BMC Open Data Award
   winners. Please take a look and improve them if you can, or add
   suggestions/drafts of more.
   4. *Panton Papers*
   There are still Panton Papers being drafted which you can contribute to
   or comment on, check out the links below for more!
   Data Sharing
Requirements<http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:OpenScientist/Panton_Papers/Data_sharing_requirements>

   Text Mining <http://okfnpad.org/PPDataTextMining>
   5. *Encouraging local open science groups and meet up*
   A new local groups page <http://science.okfn.org/local-groups/> has been
   added to science.okfn.org. Building local open science communities is a
   great way to meet people, generate ideas, organise workshops and get things
   done so do think about joining or starting one in your local area!
   6. *Publishing Open Data Working Group*
   Iain Hrynaszkiewicz from BioMedCentral reported on the outcomes of this
   BMC led workshop
here<http://blogs.openaccesscentral.com/blogs/bmcblog/entry/report_from_the_publishing_open>
and
   sent a call to the list for collaboration
here<http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-science/2011-August/000933.html>.
   If you are interested in the approach to open data from the scientific
   publishers perspective then this should be of considerable interest.
   7. *Biosharing*
   Susanna Sansone recently introduced the
Biosharing.org<http://biosharing.org/> initiative
   to the list<http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-science/2011-August/000924.html>.
   This community aims to create a catalogue of Biological data standards and
   is in collaboration<http://blogs.openaccesscentral.com/blogs/bmcblog/entry/bmc_research_notes_and_biosharing>with
   publishers such as BMC to include links to the site in their author
   instructions.

   Iain pointed out that BMC is waiving publication fees for exemplar data
   sets to encourage useful data sharing. BMC Research Notes has a data
   sharing article
collection<http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcresnotes/series/datasharing>edited
   by Dr Bill Hooker, Dr Heather Piwowar and Dr David Shotton (who are all
   members or otherwise associated with the working group).

   More suggestions of standards for the catalogue and groups interested in
   publishing datasets in BMC Research Notes are encouraged.
   8. *Open Science/Open Data at Science Conferences*
   Iain Hrynaszkiewicz is keen to find out whether open science and open
   data in science are presented at conferences that are not specifically aimed
   at the open community. If you have seen it done, have entered a proposal or
   know of any others who have then do start a conversation on the
list<http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-science>.
   It would be useful to compare experiences to find out how best to approach
   this and get more exposure for the ideas of open data/open science.
