I have been reading Cameron Neylon blog and have spent some time thinking about:
Best practice for data availability
Licenses and protocols for Open Science
What are the services we really want for recording science online?
Brief running report on the Open Science Workshop

I don’t really have opinions on these matters but I am adding them into my web of this area. I found this passage particularly insightful:
“This is beautifully summed up in one comment by Tobias Martin at number 64:

“So there are really two main questions: if this [making the full record available - CN] is hard work for the scientist, for heaven’s sake, why is it hard work? (And the corrolary: how are you confident that your results are correct?)”

And the answer – it is hard work because we still think in terms of a paper notebook paradigm, which isn’t well matched to the data analysis being done within MatLab. When people actually do data analysis using computational systems they very rarely keep a systematic log of the process. It is actually a rather difficult thing to do – even though in principle the system could (and in some cases does) keep that entire record for you.”
