Towards Modular Open Science
Science is trapped in a paper-shaped box. In this talk at the ATProto community, Rowan Cockett introduces the structural states of scientific components — the floor, the buckets, and the shelf — and makes the case for a second wave of modular science where modularity emerges from packaging rather than being imposed as a precondition. The talk introduces the Open Exchange Architecture (OXA), a new standard for modular and composable scientific content.

Great survey of the "scholarly interface design" frontier that also highlights the emerging role of the atproto.science and modular research ecosystems - @chive.pub @paperstarsorg.bsky.social @cosmik.network @semble.so @margin.at @discoursegraphs.bsky.social @curvenote.com and many more!

1/ Scholarly publishing spent thirty years arguing about access. It has barely started arguing about what readers do with the paper once they have it. That second argument is turning into a field, forming around how science gets read and judged. Here is the map as I see it: aris.pub/blog/scholarly-interface-desi…
@airglow.run + @continuous.foundation oxa.dev + @discoursegraphs.bsky.social + @scios.tech mira.science + @semble.so connections + ... = modular science revolution 🚀

@airglow.run + page.parts (tba @awarm.space) + @standard.site + Semble connections = community knowledge gardening at scale 🤯
"experiments to be in the realm of search and discovery, enabling curation, trust signals, and other approaches that build on the modular elements of science" #modularscience #atscience Congrats to the whole @openrxiv.bsky.social team!! So exciting.
