What
How do we define minimal information models tuned for synthesis that can interoperate across various disciplines?
Concrete problem expressed by Peter-Murray Rust here: https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1040214388554084372/1040299259930611833: "The idea of Hypothesis testing is common in some disciplines, unknown in others. For example chemical synthesis or materials science is "can we make X?" and many sciences are exploratory - what can we see with a new telescope, plants in Antarctica, etc. You have to design your project but I suspect Hypothesis doesn't come into it."
And to a certain extent, the issue of representing/discussing the discourse of computational research (e.g., model parameters), discussed by Konrad Hinsen here: https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1038988750677606432/1039576903838859326
This connects also with Peter-Murray Rust's work on Semantic Climate (semantifying the IPCC report).
