1. Open Science Framework
New platforms and techniques for strengthening ties between observations and user communities

2. Mission Increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scholarly research.
At the COS, we’re interested in finding ways to support researchers in implementing better research practices and to increase the openness, integrity, transparency, and the reproducibility of scientific research.

3. Technology to enable change Training to enact change
Incentives to embrace change
We have three main areas of operation.
We build free, open source infestructure to support open research practices,
building a community that helps to incentives good practices,
and performing meta-science research to investigate how changes in scientific practice affect publishing, results, and scientific findings.

4. Current scholarly infrastructure development is non-collaborative and inefficient with respect to time and resources
We rewrite. We don’t collaborate. We know about open source. Siloed approach.
Even tools to support open and collaboration
-> This is why we’ve taken framework approach
Why we’re open, Why we integrate

5. OSF Analyze Data Search/ Write Discovery Report Develop Analyze Idea
A Framework for Managing and Sharing Research Workflow
Respects existing workflow(s)
infrastructure - OSF
major arm of COS
Workflow software to help researchers organize, archive, and connect
Built flexibly so nothing is mandated: tools to support your individual workflow
provides altmetrics
Design
Study
Store

6. Login - it’s easy and free! https://osf.io
The first step to using the OSF is creating an account. It’s easy, and most importantly, free.
Navigate to and enter your name, address, and create a password. You’ll get an with a link to confirm your account - do that next.

7. Connects Services Researchers Use Look at Getting close to users
Meet them where they are
Don’t want to reinvent when we don’t have to
Flexible to many workflows

8. Drag and drop

9. There’s more to it than sharing of discrete objects
There’s more to it than sharing of discrete objects. Think about using this as an opportunity to increase transparency by capturing the entire workflow, and to do so while connecting tools and services that make up the parts of the workflow, not requiring people to change all of their practices at once, and providing immediate efficiencies and value to the researcher AS they comply with requirements.
Easy, right? Obviously not.

12. OSF Application Framework
Workflow integration
Authentication
File storage
File rendering
Database
Metadata/Annotations/Commenting
External service integrations
Search
SHARE Data
OSF is actually an application framework
It is a public good and scholarly commons; free open source
It supports the interface you see it on osf.io
Our business model allows us to inclusively support others without branding

13. Open Science Framework
osf.io
OSF4I
registry
osf.io/preprints
OSF4M
Use OSF as an free end-user facing web application to manage your research or host a collaborative project
Use OSF as branded institutional umbrella for research projects & compliance
Use OSF to register your work
Use OSF4Meetings to share posters and papers at small conferences and workshops
Have a tool we should integrate with ? Let us know?
BCS OSF is a framework its modular components can be used to build other web apps like OSF preprints
OR SHARE
Or even as in the DARPA CRAFT example, use the backend and build your own front end in Ember
SHARE share.osf.io/
DARPA CRAFT

14. The CRAFT Project Needs to support flows like this:
Source (VHDL / Verilog)
Needs to support flows like this:
Functional Verification
Cadence Incisive Simulator
Test Vectors
Verified RTL
Libraries
Synthesis
Synopsys Design Compiler
Timing Constraints
Netlist
Timing Analysis
Synopsys Primetime
Cadence Conformal
Logical Equivalence Check
Place and Route
Ian Taylor prepared this slide to describe DARPA CRAFT needs
Cadence 1st Encounter
Layout
Foundry PDK, Rule Decks, etc
Backend Checks (DRC, LVS, etc)
Mentor Calibre
Verified Layout
ASIC Design
Ready-to-Fab Chip Layout

15. OSF Why Use the OSF? And a full REST API – Django REST Framework
Planned
OSF Has a lot of tools integrated
And integrated wiki, tags, file browsers, comments, audit trails, data analytics,
Here’s how they thought through whether and how to use OSF
And a full REST API – Django REST Framework
And an EmberJS binding to the models for REST API

16. Craft and the OSF Architecture more info at: https://osf.io/vxyq9
Contact:
Ian Taylor
Here’s how they built it
OSF provides project based access and tooling surrounding projects
Custom API/database provides custom data/flows and search capabilities
ND is co-developing OSF with the Center for Open Science (MOU) and will host CRAFT’s own OSF instance at ND
