Introducing the Open Exchange Architecture
Scientific communication still privileges narrative over utility, while the data, code, protocols, and computation that underpin modern research are pushed into hard-to-access supplements. Rowan Cockett introduces the Open Exchange Architecture (OXA), an emerging, community-driven standard designed to unbundle research from its paper-shaped container and expose the rich evidence underneath it.
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.
OME Project — open-metadata-exchange documentation
OME enables open educational resources to create, publish, and update their metadata on a peer-to-peer network. By solving authoring, publishing, and discovery issues, this network will provide broad visibility to current islands of OER information.
Scientific Documents as First-Class Objects on AT Protocol
OXA now defines an AT Protocol lexicon for publishing scientific documents to the Atmosphere. The `pub.oxa.*` namespace lets documents live in any Personal Data Server, making scientific content user-owned, portable, and discoverable alongside social interactions, feeds, and moderation infrastructure.

From Albums to Streams: How Modularity Changes Systems
Scientific publishing is breaking under document-centric formats designed for a physical world. Borrowing from music’s shift from albums to streaming, we make the case that open access alone cannot deliver reuse, trust, or scale. The future of science depends on modular, interoperable research components that move across tools, enabling new workflows, tools, and ecosystems.
Research Object Crate (RO-Crate)
RO-Crate is a community effort to establish a lightweight approach to packaging research data with their metadata. It is based on schema.org annotations in JSON-LD, and aims to make best-practice in formal metadata description accessible and practical for use in a wider variety of situations, from an individual researcher working with a folder of data, to large data-intensive computational research environments.
LinkML – Bring structure to your data.
An open framework that simplifies authoring, validating, and sharing data — providing an accessible platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and a reliable way to define and share data semantics.
Underlay
Publish structured data as versioned, permanent collections with schemas, provenance, and content addressing built in. Whether you're a research lab, a newsroom, a community archive, or a single developer, Underlay makes the knowledge you hold discoverable, verifiable, and easy to build on.
DASL — Data-Addressed Structures & Links
A small set of simple, standard primitives to work on content-addressed data.

The Specification Is Not a Document - The Phoenix Architecture
Imagine joining a software project a few years from now. It is a large, mature system. It has thousands of business rules, years of operational experience,…
You are Crossref - Crossref
Crossref runs open infrastructure to link research objects, entities, and actions—creating a lasting and reusable scholarly record that underpins open science. Together with our >25,000 members in 167 countries, we drive metadata exchange and support 2.1 billion monthly API queries, facilitating global research communication, for the benefit of society.
