The Fourth Paradigm:
Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery
“In Jim Gray’s last talk to the Computer Science
and Telecommunications Board on January 11,
2007, he described his vision of the fourth
paradigm of scientific research.
He outlined a two-part plea for the funding of
tools for data capture, curation, and analysis,
and for a communication and publication
infrastructure.
He argued for the establishment of modern
stores for data and documents that are on par
with traditional libraries.”

■ All major OA initiatives for scientific and
scholarly literature insist on the importance
of peer review
A movement in higher education to increase access to scholarly research and
communication, not limiting it solely to subscribers or purchasers of works.

Data-intensive science consists of three basic activities: capture, curation, and analysis.
Scientific communication, including peer review, is also undergoing fundamental
changes.
The model assumes that each lead author forms a core team through a Poisson process.
Extended teams arise from core teams by adding new members in proportion to the productivity of the team.
This process of cumulative advantage leads to the appearance of the power-law component of large teams at later times.

Roscoe Collegiate Capstone STEM Research Center
WHAT: The Roscoe Collegiate Independent School District (RCISD) Board of Trustees (Board) has approved a bond election for the construction of a $3.5 million Capstone Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Research Center.
WHEN: Saturday, May 11, 2013 from 7 am to 7 pm (early voting April 29 –May 7)
WHERE: Roscoe Collegiate ISD Cafetorium, 1201 West 7th Street, Roscoe, Texas
HOW: No increase in the I&S Tax Rate!
(Based upon conservative tax base and interest rate projections, RCISD can issue $3.5 million without increasing the debt service tax rate over its current level, because property values are significantly higher than estimated when the current debt service rate was approved by voters in November, 2008.)
WHY: Multiple Logic Points for a Capstone STEM Research Center
In 2009, RCISD became the first rural Early College High School (ECHS) in Texas, with the expectation for students to complete the Associate Degree through Western Texas College in Snyder upon graduation from high school.
Since 2009, RCISD has been working closely with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and Educate Texas (formerly Texas High School Project) to create a sustainable model for early college that can be duplicated by other rural schools in Texas and the U.S.
In 2011, TEA began merging Early College and STEM programs. As a result, RCISD is now in the application process to become a STEM Academy, which requires Project Based Learning (PBL) to create the real world experiential relevance necessary to demand the rigor required for success in ECHS.
Emphasis upon prioritizing STEM Education is the result of Texas’ current inability to satisfy even 50% of the skilled workforce needs in the STEM related workforce.
In 2012, RCISD was named to the Texas High Performance Schools Consortium (THPSC), a 23 district consortium of Texas public school districts authorized by SB 1557 from the 82nd Legislature to transform public schools to better prepare students to meet the higher education and workforce demands of the 21st Century.
One charge of the THPSC is to develop a multiple measure accountability system that results in students earning certificates, certifications, and endorsements in STEM related fields, in addition to completing a Capstone Research Project that will serve as the culmination to Evidence Based Student Developed Portfolios that begin in grade 3.
Capstone Research requires a laboratory setting for experiential learning. Thus, the Research Center will be a High Tech Facility that includes: Environmental (solar, wind, water, petroleum), Engineering (robotics, etc.), Biotechnology (plant, animal), and Animal Science (nutrition, production, health) Laboratories, as well as multi-dimensional classrooms.
RCISD is in need of additional classroom and laboratory space to accommodate growth: (2007-2008 = 315 students), (2011-2012 = 361 students), (2012-2013 = 455 students ‘21% growth’), (2014-2015? = New housing development platted north of Roscoe).

Name ambiguity is a fundamental issue we need to address and solve. Ambiguity may be the result of a common name, by a person with several language variants of their name, or by variations in how name information is collected. But, even after addressing name ambiguity, to support discoverability, we need to connect information across databases, disciplines, organizations, and nations. A persistent name identifier addresses both challenges.

Now have two publishers that have implemented end-to-end integration of ORCID identifiers, Hindawi and Nature. The first ORCID iDs were submitted with manusciupt metadata to CrossRef in March and to PubMed in April. We’ll see a demo od the Hindawi process today.
NIH is piloting ORCID identifiers in its ScienCV system. The public, beta version will be released in late summer 2013.
