TriadicFrameworks: An Open‑Science Substrate for Regime‑Aware Modeling, Scanning, and Simulation#
Submitted to NASA High Priority Open‑Source Science (HPOSS)#
1. Commitment to Open Science#
TriadicFrameworks is designed from the outset as an open‑science research infrastructure. All protocols, specifications, models, and reference implementations produced under this project will be openly licensed, publicly accessible, and archived with persistent identifiers to ensure long‑term availability and reproducibility.
The project aligns fully with NASA’s Open‑Source Science Initiative (OSSI) by prioritizing transparency, community accessibility, and reproducible scientific workflows.
2. Open Licensing and Public Repositories#
All software, documentation, and specifications will be released under a permissive open‑source license (MIT or Apache 2.0). Public repositories will be maintained on GitHub under the TriadicFrameworks organization, with versioned releases archived on Zenodo and assigned DOIs.
Deliverables include:
- dsrsp/0.1 specification and schemas
- RSM and vST alignment layer documentation
- reference implementations and libraries
- ILP module
- example datasets and workflows
- integration guides and developer documentation
All materials will remain freely accessible without registration or usage restrictions.
3. Reproducibility and Transparency#
The project will provide reproducible workflows, including:
- example sensor envelopes and regime profiles
- Jupyter notebooks demonstrating classification and validation
- simulation‑based examples for testing dsrsp/0.1
- step‑by‑step integration guides for RSM and vST engines
Each workflow will include:
- clear instructions
- versioned dependencies
- open datasets or synthetic data generation scripts
This ensures that researchers can reproduce results, validate behavior, and extend the framework for their own scientific applications.
4. Data and Software Management#
All data products generated during the project will be:
- openly licensed
- documented with metadata
- archived in public repositories
- versioned and assigned DOIs when appropriate
Software deliverables will follow open‑source best practices:
- semantic versioning
- continuous integration
- issue tracking
- community contribution guidelines
- automated documentation builds
This ensures long‑term sustainability and community trust.
5. Community Engagement and Accessibility#
TriadicFrameworks will support community adoption through:
- public documentation and tutorials
- example integrations for sensing and simulation systems
- developer‑focused onboarding materials
- a public discussion forum or GitHub Discussions space
- periodic updates and release notes
The project will also provide clear pathways for community contributions, including code, documentation, and scientific extensions.
6. Long‑Term Sustainability#
By publishing all components under permissive licenses, archiving releases with DOIs, and maintaining public repositories, TriadicFrameworks ensures that the framework remains accessible and extensible beyond the performance period.
The project’s modular design allows researchers, developers, and institutions to adopt individual components (dsrsp/0.1, RSM, vST, SLRP) or integrate the full substrate into their scientific workflows.
7. Summary#
TriadicFrameworks is inherently aligned with NASA’s open‑science mission. The project will deliver openly licensed protocols, models, and tools that support transparent, reproducible, and community‑accessible scientific analysis across remote sensing, planetary exploration, and simulation environments.
All deliverables will be publicly available, versioned, documented, and archived to ensure long‑term scientific value and broad community impact.
