- DWS recently attended a meeting with the Center for Open Science, Univ. of Virginia

• making experiments repeatable in ecology and psychology, what kind of metadata needs to be captured- using ontologies can help
  • e.g. problem of repeatibility

• BS: developing an ontology for biological and clinical statistics- make pipeline repeatable
• in Evolutionary biology- all the steps are defined and documented
• From BS: Related effort: Force 11/Force 2016- Open Science Initiative (Melissa Haendel, Maryanne Martone)
