4414 "In 2005, at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in northern Italy, "
4415 "teachers and students needed an easy way to use electronics and programming "
4416 "to quickly prototype design ideas. As musicians, artists, and designers, "
4417 "they needed a platform that didn’t require engineering expertise. A group of "
4418 "teachers and students, including Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, "
4419 "Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis, built a platform that combined different "
4420 "open technologies. They called it Arduino. The platform integrated software, "
4421 "hardware, microcontrollers, and electronics. All aspects of the platform "
4422 "were openly licensed: hardware designs and documentation with the "

6353 "In the paper Harnessing the Economic and Social Power of Data presented at "
6354 "the New Zealand Data Futures Forum in 2014,<placeholder type=\"footnote\" id="
6355 "\"0\"/> Figure.NZ founder Lillian Grace said there are thousands of valuable "
6356 "and relevant data sets freely available to us right now, but most people "
6357 "don’t use them. She used to think this meant people didn’t care about being "
6358 "informed, but she’s come to see that she was wrong. Almost everyone wants to "
6359 "be informed about issues that matter—not only to them, but also to their "
6360 "families, their communities, their businesses, and their country. But "
6361 "there’s a big difference between availability and accessibility of "
6362 "information. Data is spread across thousands of sites and is held within "
6363 "databases and spreadsheets that require both time and skill to engage with. "
6364 "To use data when making a decision, you have to know what specific question "
6365 "to ask, identify a source that has collected the data, and manipulate "
6366 "complex tools to extract and visualize the information within the data set. "
6367 "Lillian established Figure.NZ to make data truly accessible to all, with a "
6368 "specific focus on New Zealand."

6375 "New Zealand Institute, a think tank concerned with improving economic "
6376 "prosperity, social well-being, environmental quality, and environmental "
6377 "productivity for New Zealand and New Zealanders. While giving talks to "
6378 "community and business groups, Lillian realized <quote>every single issue we "
6379 "addressed would have been easier to deal with if more people understood the "
6380 "basic facts.</quote> But understanding the basic facts sometimes requires "

6387 "Lillian began to imagine a website that lifted data up to a visual form that "
6388 "could be easily understood and freely accessed. Initially launched as Wiki "
6389 "New Zealand, the original idea was that people could contribute their data "
6390 "and visuals via a wiki. However, few people had graphs that could be used "
6391 "and shared, and there were no standards or consistency around the data and "
6392 "the visuals. Realizing the wiki model wasn’t working, Lillian brought the "
6393 "process of data aggregation, curation, and visual presentation in-house, and "
6394 "invested in the technology to help automate some of it. Wiki New Zealand "
6395 "became Figure.NZ, and efforts were reoriented toward providing services to "
6396 "those wanting to open their data and present it visually."

6406 "then make the data available in a series of standardized forms, both human- "
6407 "and machine-readable, with rich metadata about the sources, the licenses, "
6408 "and data types. Figure.NZ has a chart-designing tool that makes simple bar, "
6409 "line, and area graphs from any data source. The graphs are posted to the "
6410 "Figure.NZ website, and they can also be exported in a variety of formats for "

7811 "free and modify them and even use them commercially. The requirement to give "
7812 "attribution to the original creator ensures that the creator can build a "

7844 "The Noun Project first adopted a model whereby using an icon without giving "

7847 "certain number of icons—ten, fifty, a hundred, or five hundred. However, "
7848 "users didn’t like these hard-count options. They preferred to try out many "
7849 "similar icons to see which worked best before eventually choosing the one "

7864 "know all of them in advance, so they built an API with a lot of "
7865 "flexibility. Knowing that most API applications would want to use the icons "

9122 "OER 2.0 is about OER intended to be used and adopted on a national level "

9124 "off through wide geographic adoption. The OER 2.0 process for OpenStax "
9125 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9126 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9127 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9128 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "
9129 "the publisher released the rights back to the authors. The second model is "
9130 "to develop a book from scratch, a good example being their biology book."

9136 "The process is similar for both models. First they look at the scope and "
9137 "sequence of existing textbooks. They ask questions like what does the "
9138 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9139 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9140 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "
9141 "together to develop a template for a chapter and collectively write the "
9142 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9143 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9144 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9145 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9146 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9147 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "
9148 "it goes into production and through a final proofread. The whole process is "

9816 "Another adjustable practice is the sharing of articles at early preprint "
9817 "stages. Publication of research in a peer-reviewed journal can take a long "
9818 "time because articles must undergo extensive peer review. The need to "
9819 "quickly circulate current results within a scientific community has led to a "
9820 "practice of distributing pre-print documents that have not yet undergone "
9821 "peer review. Preprints broaden the peer-review process, allowing authors to "
9822 "receive early feedback from a wide group of peers, which can help revise and "
9823 "prepare the article for submission. Offsetting the advantages of preprints "
9824 "are author concerns over ensuring their primacy of being first to come up "
9825 "with findings based on their research. Other researches may see findings the "
9826 "preprint author has not yet thought of. However, preprints help researchers "
9827 "get their discoveries out early and establish precedence. A big challenge is "
9828 "that researchers don’t have a lot of time to comment on preprints."
