Description
Summary:Abstract Science advances at a slow pace but can be accelerated with a standard for computable expression of scientific knowledge, more precisely a technical standard for electronic data exchange of machine‐interpretable data expressing scientific knowledge. Efforts to achieve this vision include Evidence‐Based Medicine on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (EBMonFHIR), COVID‐19 Knowledge Accelerator (COKA), Computable Publishing LLC, Scientific Knowledge Accelerator Foundation, and the Fast Evidence Interoperability Resources (FEvIR) Platform. The vision for communicating scientific research results to be instantly found, viewed, sent, received, and incorporated into thousands of system is a Just‐in‐time Evidence Dissemination and Integration (JEDI) vision. Reflections on JEDI teachings in a fun way helps explain the focus on the "Resource" to make science computable, how a precise specification of evidence changes perspectives, the need to reset standard terminologies, the inclusive nature of efforts to achieve the vision, and the critical demand to realize the vision.
