Background
During AARG 2010 a Method Store was discussed
This went viral with support from a number of international institutions/people:
Open Knowledge Foundation
Council for British Archaeology
English Heritage
Antiquist
3d heritage
This is its story.....
sorry mainly text and a few pickies

Knowledge industries are undergoing fundamental change. • Research/Policy/Management is becoming ever more open and
collaborative.
The boundaries are blurring between the formal and informal• The traditional power/organisational structures are sometimes no longer
relevant
• As demonstrated y the Western Poland case study
Greater access/transparency is demanded of publically funded research and knowledge. • The ClimateGate scandal at UEA in 2009.
• The Big Society
• Open Data (dot) Gov

Funding councils are demanding that publically funded research should make publications available as openly accessible documents • it is likely that they will soon demand similar access to
• data,
• algorithms
• other outputs from the research process.
Social media companies, like twitter, are changing the research landscape.

Consumers of research are participating in a conversation, not listening to a lecture.
More sophisticated forms of engagement can increase impact dramatically. • This will significantly change the way institutions ‘do business’.

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

What are Open Methods?
![Page 10: Archaeology Method Store](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051313/549c110fb479599b318b463e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is Open Science
![Page 11: Archaeology Method Store](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051313/549c110fb479599b318b463e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What Open Science is NOT
Just providing access to your data when a project has finished
It's as much about engaging with the process as engaging with the science objects

Why not Open Science

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.

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.

The Method Store: Licencing
In the long term this method store will only contain objects that are released under a Creative Commons, or other, open licence. This form of initiative has resonance outside the archaeological community.
What about copyright • Re-use licencing is important
• There are bodies and protocols in place
• ~ Science Commons
• ~ Creative Commons
• ~ GPL
• Not solely an open science issue

The Future
Workflows
Better referencing
Semantic tagging

The Future
There are other similar initiatives
More will come
Some will gain traction
Others will wither and die
All the content should be cross transferable
