In order to use this data in a RAD manner, however, researchers in the field need to better articulate and understand the principle of replicability.

(See sample table below.) The table fits in well with the seventh Barcelona Principle: "Transparency and replicability are paramount to sound measurement." After all, not all aggregators and analyses are created equal, and some apply bespoke techniques or algorithms rather than put out a transparent process.

In the privately funded larger buildings category, a small office and showroom building on a rather obscure corner of central Athens designed by Demetrios Issaias and Tassis Papaioannou was chosen as prize winner, because of its modesty and its replicability.
