My original post reversed the footnoted links, which are corrected (and DOIed) below. Tom Roche Fri, 29 May 2015 18:37:09 -0400[0] > an ostensive/exemplary definition of ["spatial-science good-practice," > (SSGP)] should be both feasible and useful. E.g., Hey and Payne 2015 cite ATLAS[4] and CMS[5] (from CERN LHC) and CASTEP[6] (from a UK academic group) as examples of best-practice (e.g., most open-science) particle-physics projects. What would be examples of best-practice spatial-science projects? NB: UK readers may find Hey and Payne 2015 especially interesting since much of its content is UK-oriented (probably because Payne is at Cambridge). E.g., Hey and Payne 2015[1] >> [UK 'community' software] projects are exemplified by the Collaborative >> Computational Projects (CCPs) supported by a team at the Science and >> Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The team assists universities in >> developing, maintaining and distributing computer programs, and in promoting >> the best computational methods. Each CCP focuses on a specific area of >> research and they are funded by the UK Research Councils. There are probably >> more than 1,000 individual researchers and research students supported by >> the CCPs. ... >> the [UK] Research Councils have also recently changed their policy on >> software-development costs. In addition to providing support for the UK >> Software Sustainability Institute, the Engineering and Physical Sciences >> Research Council (EPSRC) now issues regular calls for proposals that are >> focused purely on either developing new and innovative software--adding >> novel functionality to existing software, or simply making widely used >> software packages more efficient and/or robust[7].
