Th..."Data" is of no use without metadata. That's everything from units to how collected, how was data processed, how was it quality controlled, what's its provenance, etc. This has come to be called "information". This is well documented in the Open Archival Information System (OAIS).<br /><br />I'm not aware of a similar reference model for software. Until such exists there's not much use for citations. Languages have different versions, change over time, or even disappear. Operating systems, hardware, build instructions, dependencies, etc, must all be identified in a consistent manner for the citation to be of any scholastic use.Ken Knowleshttp://www.linkedin.com/pub/ken-knowles/17/a09/aa8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38838475.post-15823143389069585942012-02-24T22:41:22.409-06:002012-02-24T22:41:22.409-06:00I guess Gleick brought the connecting of his scien...I guess Gleick brought the connecting of his science and his extracurricular activities on himself by resigning from the science ethics Task Force before posting his account/apology about his amateur investigative reporting exploits and before anyone asked him to.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375007307125560799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38838475.post-14525979268606923552012-02-23T00:46:10.264-06:002012-02-23T00:46:10.264-06:00Well, AGU itself seems to feel compelled to come d...Well, AGU itself seems to feel compelled to come down on the side of scientist as saint.<br /><br />http://www.agu.org/news/press/pr_archives/2012/2012-11.shtml<br /><br />Do they actually believe this?

Since the data are scarce and what we do have show no significant incline, it appears that the hysteria over manmade global warming has been quite contrived. But, no crisis, no funding, and no political issue to clamor about. Thus I don't expect the warmists to cease their crusade anytime soon.
