Linked Open Science-Communicating, Sharing, and Evaluating Data, Methods and Results for Executable Papers

Linked Open Science is an approach to solve challenges of an executable paper. It is a combination of four “silver bullets”: 1) publication of scientific data, metadata, results, and provenance information using Linked Data principles,2) open source and web-based environments for executing, validating and exploring research, 3) Cloud Computing
for e
ffi
cient and distributed computing, and 4) Creative Commons for the legal infrastructure. We will use a realistic
scientific research setting related to research on deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest to provide scenarios
to illustrate the application of Linked Open Science.
