Database of Open Researchers

[Lingtax]

It can be hard to know where to look for collaborators, much less to know whether a collaboration will hit conflict due to a disagreement on some core values.

A member of ANZORN has suggested we might develop a database of open researchers that researchers might then use to find potential collaborators who at least agree on the value of openness.

First point would be determining the types of data that would be included in this database (e.g. name, contacts, field, subfield, research interests, skills), then building the database, building a front-end that allows people to add themselves and also to apply SQL like queries to the database (without needing to know SQL).
