2. Big picture

3. Science is NOT a Black Box

4. Open Geospatial Science builds upon the idea of Open science that scientific knowledge of all kinds are able to be develop more rapidly and in a more productive manner if openly shared (as early as is practical in the discovery process).
The key ingredients to make Open Geospatial Science possible is Open Principles (open source geospatial software, open data, open standards and open access to research publications) .

5. Open Geospatial Education & Research
Ability for showing the operation of general laws is fundamental for scientific research
Open Data
Geospatial Standards (for ex. OGC spec.)
Maturity of open source software (for ex. OSGeo stack)

6. Aim – Establish a new discipline for Open Geospatial Science

7. Unique convergence of three key developments that made Open Geospatial Science possible
Ability for showing the operation of general laws is fundamental for scientific research
Open Data
Geospatial Standards (for ex. OGC spec.)
Maturity of open source software (for ex. OSGeo stack)

8. Science should always be open
Vision 2030
Science should always be open
Geospatial Science should be fully build on Open Principles
Transparency of research is fundamental (no black boxes or proprietary barriers).
Geospatial Science = Open Geospatial Science
