the concepts of open science and information commons

First, a challenge for you librarians out there: it would be nice if someone tracked down the origins and history of the "open science" concept.  Who coined it, with its current meaning?  What papers and conferences have discussed open science?  Let the referencing begin!

Is it meaningful to have distinctions between e-Science, Open Science, and Science Commons?

I, being a non-librarian, have gathered some references using that library arch-nemesis, Google.

John Willinsky, First Monday, Volume 10, Number 8 — 1 August 2005, The unacknowledged convergence of open source, open access, and open science

CODATA - Creating the Information Commons for e-Science: Toward Institutional Policies and Guidelines for Action, 1-2 September 2005

International Seminar - Open Access for Developing Countries, September 21-22, 2005
- presentation by Paul Uhlir Creating a global information commons for public science (PDF)

ICSTI - Information and Data in e-Science: Making Seamless Access a Reality, February 3, 2006

mitchell's blog, August 30, 2006, Open Source, Open Science

At Sci Foo Brian Behlendorf and I hosted a session about how the lessons learned from the open source software experience might be applicable to scientific endeavors. The hope is that we can support the “open” movement in science as well. By ‘open” I mean a system where effort and resources are pooled and the result shared. This is in contrast to an increasing focus on what’s “my intellectual property, how can I best protect that intellectual property, use it to create a closed system and then extract the most value for me from that closed system.”

CODATA - Creating the Global Information Commons for Science

Global Information Commons for Science is a multi-stakeholder initiative arising from the second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis in November 2005.

Commons of Science Conference - Creating a Vision for Making Scientific Data Available Across Disciplines, October 3-4, 2006.  Washington, DC.  By invitation only.

UNESCO - Consultation meeting on WSIS Action Line C7 ''E-science'', 22 October 2006, Huarun Hotel, Beijing, China

If this is all a bit too heavy, you can enjoy the Flickred photos from iSummit 2006 (the one in Rio, not the one in Toronto) by John Wilbanks.

Some other starting points for further reading are the (very slow) Science Commons Blog (feed at http://sciencecommons.org/weblog/rss ), and the OnTheCommons blog entry A Renaissance of the Science Commons.

So are there four elements to open science, viz. open source + access + data + discourse?

Any other important articles or events?

Previously:
September 04, 2006  open discourse + access + data equals open science?
April 28, 2006  conference proceedings: ICSTI eScience, Bielefeld + Taiga + LtF on academic library future

I don't know who coined the term but by searching Scopus I saw that there is a paper titled "Open science meeting of the human dimensions of global environmental change research community by Jaeger, J. in Environmental Conservation Volume 24, Issue 4, 1997, Pages 365-366" and another paper titled "Common Agency Contracting and the Emergence of "Open Science" Institutions" by David, P.A. in American Economic Review
Volume 88, Issue 2, May 1998, Pages 15-21

There is an OpenScience project at http://www.openscience.org/blog/?page_id=44
which is at least as old as 2004-03. It is mainly concentrated on software but is certainly a legitimate use of the term "Open Science".
