Why? Publication• Publications are about argumentation: Convince
the reader of the validity of a position [Mesirov]– Reproducible Results System: facilitates
enactment and publication of reproducible research.
• Results are reinforced by reproducability [De Roure]– Explicit representation of method.
• Verifiability as a key factor in scientific discovery.

• An aggregation object that bundles together experimental resources that are essential to a computational scientific study or investigation. – An identity– A suite of annotations (which can be about this
bundle and/or the resources of the bundle)– Aggregated Resources:
data used results produced in an experiment study; (computational) methods employed to
produce and analyse that data; people involved in the investigation.

Annotations• Essential to the understanding and interpretation of
the scientific outcomes captured by a Research Object as well as the reuse of the resources within it. – Provenance information about the experiments, the
study or any other experimental resources– Evolution information about the Research Object
and its resources, – Descriptions of computational methods– Dependency information or settings
about the experiment executions

Vocabularies and Domains• Thinking to date has been focused on “workflow-
centric” ROs (cf. Wf4Ever presentation to come)– Vocabularies covering, e.g. workflow abstractions
and provenance information• Need focus on other use cases, domains and problems
