Brazil 2.0: Journalists Go Online to Open Government Records
,----[ Quote ]
| Veridiana Sedeh and Jose Roberto de Toledo
| spoke with me from ABRAJIâs headquarters in
| Sao Paolo. During our conversations,
| Veridiana and Jose Roberto emphasized the
| importance of creating a public memory
| through smart journalism informed by access
| to government record-keeping. I met
| Veridiana through her work as a peer
| reviewer on the upcoming Global Integrity
| Report: 2009, and that led me to ABRAJI.

Britain Loves Wikipedia - And About Time, Too
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the important roles of museums and
| galleries is education: helping the public
| to discover and explore the masterworks in
| their collections. So you would have thought
| that they would be only to happy to have
| images of those works exposed in the
| greatest online gallery of them all,
| Wikipedia. And yet there has been a certain
| resistance to this in some quarters, thanks
| - of course - to a crazy obsession with
| "copyright".

Wikipedia Citations in Patents Up 59 Percent
,----[ Quote ]
| Patent Librarian Michael White recently
| posted an interesting graph on the number of
| U.S. patents referencing Wikipedia articles:
|
| The number of U.S. patents issued last year
| that contain one or more references to
| Wikipedia articles totaled 809, a 59
| percent jump from 2008. Several years ago
| the USPTO banned patent examiners from
| using Wikipedia as a source of information
| for determining patentability of
| inventions. However, examiners and
| applicants continue to cite it.
