Jay, everyone,
it would be great if we could include under section "Scope" also:
* Storing scientific data and enable an easy exchange between
researchers.
Best,
Philip

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the revisions.

Project draft
Tobias, everyone,
Here is an updated version with most of your
changes worked in one way or the other. Please let
me know what you think. Two things:
*BSD is already mentioned next to EDL.
*Exporting cryptographic algorithms is a violation of
US export control laws. So we need to explicitly say
that we will not work on cryptography or its
applications.
OK... Adding a sentence that provides the background
(along 'In order to comply with ..., ') may be useful.
Best,
Tobias
Doing compression or anonymization are separate
subjects, regardless of the origins of the techniques.
- modeling and simulation is only
one way to collect (in this case
generate) and analyze scientific data
(be it in the physical or social
sciences); this could be broadened to
collection and analysis of sample
survey data and experimental data
- maybe add economics to the social
sciences ?
- tools and libraries for
statistics, machine
learning, artificial intelligence,
data mining, text mining
- data structures should not be
limited to 3D; we want to live in more
dimensions
- visualization: a detail, but 4D
is not uncommon (including e.g. time
dimension)
- I don't understand why we should
explicitly exclude (the mathematics
of) cryptography; certain
anonymization or privacy-protecting
procedures as applied to scientific
data can use cryptographic techniques
- I would use Revised BSD or
3-clause BSD next to (or rather than)
EDL; I understand the inclination to
use EDL, but the name is not widely
known (e.g. Wikipedia knows EPL but
not EDL) and, if it does not make any
practical difference, the other names
are much more recognizable and
therefore reassuring to people.
Just my two eurocents.
Best,
Tobias

Science Top Level Project draft
Everyone,
This draft is under review by
the Steering Committee too and
we are going to review it one
final time on Wednesday. We will
share our thoughts with you
then.
Ideally we would have as much
community feedback addressed in
the document as possible before
we submit it to the Foundation.
So please speak up if you have
ideas!
A draft of the Science Top
Level Project can be viewed and
commented on here. If
you're interested in edit
access, just ask and I'll
grant it to you.
A few folks asked what a Top
Level Project (TLP) is in
our annual meeting. It's a
code-less project that
provides vetting for
important practices of the
projects hosted beneath it.
The members of the TLP are
called the Project
Management Committee (PMC).
Here's a page listing the
kinds of things the PMC
does: https://wiki.eclipse.org/PMC
A couple of key ones are:
reviewing, discussing,
and approving/rejecting
CQ requests before they
go to the intellectual
property (IP) team.
some checks &
balances related to
committer elections
