Building a Network of Open Correspondence Projects
Topology of the NetworkThe existence of a path from a node to another one is a graph property - it doesn’t depend on our ability to find it (Euler, 1736)
Direct network
Small world network
Hubs and authorities
Pareto principle
Digital On-line Open Linked
Our primary sources (data) must be
Access to data (physical layer: libraries, archives)
Some examples1. Polymath Project (2009)A collaborative space for mathematical research
3. HapMap (2002) http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
The goal of the International HapMap Project is to develop a haplotype map of the human genome which will describe the common patterns of human DNA sequence variation
2. GenBank (1996)http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/Genetic data are immediately shared online
200.000 volounteers cooperate with a group of experts in classifying galaxies
5. Wikipedia (2000 - on)A collaborative Encyclopedia
6. MAPPA Project (2011-14)Study predictive computational tools applicable to the archaeological potential of an urban areaCreate the first italian open digital archaeological archive
Funding agencies policies (ERC, Horizon2020, National Science Foundation)
Results (OA mandatory)
Data (OA mandatory; fundings only for digitized documents)
2. Encourage open science
How adopting new ways of sharing can become an imperative for scientists as it is
today publishing an article?

What about evaluation?
"My dear Francesco, I have lately kept praising the age in which we live, because of the great, indeed divine gift of the new kind of writing which was recently brought to us from Germany. In fact, I saw a single man printing in a single month as much as could be written by hand by several persons in a year. ... It was for this reason that I was led to hope that within a short time we would have such a large quantity of books that there wouldn't be a single work which could not be procured ... Yet — oh false and all too human thoughts — I see that things turned out quite differently [...] now that everyone is free to print whatever they wish, they often disregard that which best and instead write, merely for the sake of entertainment, what would best be forgotten, or, better still, be erased from all books. And even when they write something worthwhile they twist and corrupt it to the point where it would be much better to do without such books [...]"
