Open data on cities: an international round up
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the last few months there have been
| lots of exciting announcements about open
| data from cities around the world. We
| decided to take a look at what is currently
| out there - in particular taking note of:
|
| 1. Whether datasets are open as in the
| Open Knowledge Definition - i.e. whether
| they explicitly say that they can be used
| by anyone, for any purpose, without
| restriction (except perhaps attribution,
| integrity or sharealike requirements).

HP, UMich deal means a "real" future for scanned books
,----[ Quote ]
| HP and the University of Michigan have inked
| a deal that will see HP reprinting rare and
| out-of-print books from Michigan's library
| via the printer maker's print-on-demand
| service. Here's why this is potentially as
| important as anything Google Books is doing.

Biophysical Economics: A Different View
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the things that I have felt for a
| while is that mainstream economics isn't
| really the best way to look at free
| software, or any of the other intellectual
| commons or - even more importantly - the
| environmental commons, since economics is
| really about consumption.

Open Data is coming
,----[ Quote ]
| We (mainly Cameron Neylon and me) ran a session this morning on Open Data.
| These are un-sessions which need preparation but not a strict agenda.
| Certainly not a lecture. So we kicked off very briefly with the scene and
| moved to the Panton Principles on what scientists want to do in publishing
| data for the benefit of the community.
