Hi Jonathan,
while OSGeo and rasdaman share the strive for quality we come from different
approaches: OSGeo believes in the power of committees and strong regulation
whereas rasdaman has a culture of unbureaucratic, technocracy based
collaboration. In other words: good ideas are always welcome - we live this
daily, based on humanistic ideals, not on law enforcement.
Scientific evidence? No, unfortunately not - we concentrate on technology, and
that IMHO is more a field for social scientists to explore. Likely a research
gap there, but I may miss something existing.
cheers,
Peter
