Does OSGeo or related group keep any list(s) of organizations or projects recognized for doing spatial science particularly well/openly? Why I ask:
I recently saw a Nature Physics commentary[1] claiming that ''[one] of the first scientists to recognize the need for reproducibility in computational science was the geophysicist Jon Claerbout. As early as 1990, he set a goal of reproducibility for all the (non-open-access) reports coming out of his Stanford Exploration Project[2], identifying reproducibility as 'a way of organizing computational research that allows both the author and the reader of a publication to verify the reported results'[3].'' I was reminded of the above when seeing this recent thread: Suchith Anand Fri May 29 01:23:19 PDT 2015 [4] >> These good practice guidelines shared by various European governments will >> be of interest Gert-Jan van der Weijden Fri May 29 02:39:19 PDT 2015 [5] > the step from awareness to real results [has proved to be] a tough one. You may recall that membership in a set can be defined intensionally (stating membership conditions) or extensionally (listing members); extensive definitions can be further partitioned into enumerative[6] and ostensive[7]. Intensive definitions of complex phenomena (like "spatial-science good-practice," SSGP) can be difficult, and a full enumeration of SSGP projects is probably (hopefully :-) even less feasible. But an ostensive/exemplary definition of SSGP should be both feasible and useful.
