When conducting research within a framework of Geographic Science (GISc), the scientific validity of this work can argued as highly dependent upon the extent to which the employed are reproducible, and that, in the strictest, can only be fully achieved by implementing transparent that utilize both open source software and openly available. After considering the scientific implications of non-reproducible, we provide a review of both open source Information Systems (GIS) and openly available data, describing an integrated model for Open GISc. We conclude a critical review of this embryonic paradigm, with directions for development in supporting spatial data infrastructure.
