Open Science
Pantone Principles By open data in science we mean that it is freely available on the public internet permitting any user to download, copy, analyse, re-process, pass them to software or use them for any other purpose without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.
First Principles
A piece of content or data is open if anyone is free to use, reuse, and redistribute it subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike. OpenDefinition.org Records shared with the public digitally, over the Internet, in a way that promotes analysis & reuse. -OpenGovData.org
