Open scientific data or open research data is a type of open data focused on publishing observations and results of scientific activities available for anyone to analyze and reuse. A major purpose of the drive for open data is to allow the verification of scientific claims, by allowing others to look at the reproducibility of results, and to allow data from many sources to be integrated to give new knowledge.
The modern concept of scientific data emerged in the second half of the 20th century, with the development of large knowledge infrastructure to compute scientific information and observation. The sharing and distribution of data has been early identified as an important stake but was impeded by the technical limitations of the infrastructure and the lack of common standards for data communication. The World Wide Web was immediately conceived as a universal protocol for the sharing of scientific data, especially coming from high-energy physics.
The concept of open scientific data has developed in parallel with the concept of scientific data.
Scientific data was not formally defined until the late 20th century. Before the generalization of computational analysis, data has been mostly an informal terms, frequently used interchangeably with knowledge or information. Institutional and epistemological discourses favored alternative concepts and outlooks on scientific activities: "Even histories of science and epistemology comments, mention data only in passing. Other foundational works on the making of meaning in science discuss facts, representations, inscriptions, and publications, with little attention to data per se."
The first influential policy definition of scientific data appeared as late as 1999, when the National Academies of Science described data as "facts, letters, numbers or symbols that describe an object, condition, situation or other factors".

In this summer school, we target to provide an overview of the different principles and practices that can be found under the umbrella term of Open Science. These practices span the research cycle sta
La science ouverte (en ou en pour les anglophones) est un mouvement qui cherche à rendre la recherche scientifique et les données qu'elle produit accessibles à tous et dans tous les niveaux de la société. Pour cela, la science ouverte s'appuie fortement sur le recours à l'Internet ouvert, à l'open data, aux outils de travail collaboratif (dont Wikipédia, Wikiversité et Wikispecies font partie), à la formation en ligne et au web social de manière à rendre la recherche scientifique et ses données accessibles à tous (amateurs et professionnels).
Discute de l'histoire et de l'impact des logiciels open source, des données ouvertes et de la science ouverte, en mettant l'accent sur les avantages du partage d'informations à l'ère numérique.
Renku est une plate-forme pour la science des données collaborative permettant la reproductibilité et la promotion de la réutilisation du code et des données.
While the introduction of practical deep learning has driven progress across scientific fields, recent research highlighted that the requirement of deep learning for ever-increasing computational resources and data has potential negative impacts on the sci ...
