[Obi-devel] OBI and Nature Publishing Group's Scientific Data - Roadmap for Engagement

[Susanna-Assunta Sansone]

Dear Bjorn and OBI communities,

the other day I released a blog post proposing a step-by-step process by which community groups can get involved with Scientific Data, the new open access data publication platform by Nature Publishing Group (www.nature.com/scientificdata)
This will serve as a guide as we work with community standards for different scientific fields and cooperate with public data repositories and resources: http://blogs.nature.com/scientificdata/2013/05/13/our-roadmap-to-engagement-your-call

Scientific Data introduces a new content type called Data Descriptor, described here: http://www.nature.com/scientificdata/for-authors/data-descriptor-content-and-submission

Please, see the steps we propose - those relevant to OBI in this case are probably 1-2 and possibly 3.
Wearing my Oxford hat I can say that given the involvement of my team and ISA project in OBI, I will advocate use of OBI in Scientific Data to harmonize the curation in-house. However, if you/OBI see this as an important engagement, we would like to hear from you directly.

Please feel free to send your thoughts by reply email, or comment publicly on Facebook or Twitter.

Kind regards,
Susanna

Hi Susanna, 

Thanks for sending the links; this does sound like an exciting initiative. 

It is late, so my first question is probably dumb: Do I understand correctly that with the 'steps we propose' you mean point 1-3 in this document: http://blogs.nature.com/scientificdata/2013/05/13/our-roadmap-to-engagement-your-call

Obviously this sounds like a perfect opportunity to apply OBI, so this would be an important engagement. I am less clear on what that would mean in practice though? 

Best, 

Bjoern

Hi Bjoern,
many thanks for the prompt reply. I will be happy to explain more on the next call, if useful.
Thanks,
Susanna

900$ for a data descriptor and more if you don't want a crappy license.

Is this really the way that we want to go?

Hi Phil,
one should probably separate the AO/APC discussion from promoting use of
OBI. I advocate the latter.
To (continue to) be successful, imo OBI has to be used widely and
visibly regardless if by an academic or commercial entity.
