Openness

This page describes a concept which is part of our glossary

All cells in an organism share knowledge to expand awareness of the environment, and collaborate on and govern together accurate, complete and accessible information. Accessibility means web 3.0; using open standards to make more shareable the system (concepts, methods, tools and resources etc).

Before a system is able to undergo change through feedback it must first be open. For things to evolve and refine through the scientific method they must be open and reproducible; good science is open science.
