"OpenMaterials is a research group dedicated to open investigation and experimentation with DIY production methods and uses of materials. In the spirit of the open source software and hardware movements, we hope to promote materials to be researched and developed in a public, collaborative manner. We see materials as an open resource, and wish to establish an open process for exploring and sharing knowledge, techniques and applications related to materials science."

"The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is a community of Living Labs with a sustainable strategy for enhancing innovation on a systematic basis. The overall objective is to contribute to the creation of a dynamic European innovation system. ENoLL aims to support co-creative, human-centric and user-driven research, development and innovation in order to better cater for people's needs."

"The Code for America Commons is an information product, made up of the Commons app directory and the Commons Wiki knowledge base".

"From makerspaces to data wrangling schools to archives, the digital is being remixed by the open - and it is changing society as we know it. New concepts about public information, transparency and the Commons are combining in unprecedented ways, resulting in a breadth of transformative collaborations across the globe."

"We need to organise Government data and software using an agreed set of standards that make our IT more open, cheaper and better connected. Following the outcome of a public consultation on Open Standards: Open Opportunities, we've set out in Open Standards Principles the rules that government bodies must follow when specifying their IT."

""Linked Open Data: The Essentials," a new quick-start guide for decision-makers who need to quickly get up to speed with the LOD concept, and who want to make their government or organization a part of the movement."

"This productivity map for Google Earth is an example of such an application. It renders the university buildings in 3D - the building height indicates the number of publications written by researchers working in the respective building."

"Besides descriptive metadata which is already covered in other documents also non-sensitive data produced by libraries and related institutions is subject of the recommendations, e.g. statistical data or circulation data. Furthermore, the recommendations don't only cover open licensing but also open access, open standards and the documentation, sustainability as well as other apsects of open data."

"a project by the Open Library Society, supported by the Open Bibliographic Data Working Group of the Open Knowledge Foundation. We improve the access to and the use of freely available scholarly metadata. Most of the records discussed here are already used in the Society's AuthorClaim service. We are making the records available here for others to use them. The idea is to build over time a large freely available dataset for academic performance evaluation and data mining. "

"Maantieteellistä tietoa hyödyntäviin teknisen palvelun toimialan yrityksiin keskittyvä aineistoanalyysi vuosilta 2000-2007 osoittaa, että julkisen tiedon hinnoittelu vaikuttaa selvästi yritysten liikevaihdon kasvuun. Yritykset maissa, joissa julkinen maantieteellinen tieto on ollut ilmaista tai enintään rajakustannusten perusteella hinnoiteltua ovat kasvaneet vuositasolla keskimäärin 15 prosenttia enemmän kuin yritykset maissa, joissa julkisen maantieteellisen tiedon hinnoittelu on ollut kustannusperusteista. Rajakustannushinnoitteluun siirtymisen jälkeen on havaittavissa positiivinen kasvuvaikutus jo seuraavana vuonna, mutta selvästi voimakkaampi kasvusysäys nähdään kahden vuoden päästä hinnoittelumuutoksesta. Julkisen maantieteellisen tiedon rajakustannushinnoittelu ei ole kuitenkaan vaikuttanut merkittävästi suurten yritysten kasvuun; PK-yritykset ovat hyötyneet eniten halvemmasta maantieteellisestä tiedosta."

bibliographic metadata from libraries and related institutions.

"The British Library is to make its extensive collections of bibliographic records available for free to researchers and other libraries: www.bl.uk/bibliographic/datafree.html The UK national library has around 14 million catalogue records comprising a wealth of bibliographic data. The initiative announced today will help expose this vast dataset to users worldwide, allowing researchers and other libraries to access and retrieve bibliographic records for publications dating back centuries and relating to every conceivable subject area."

"Europeana, the European collection of cultural heritage metadata, has adopted a new data exchange agreement. Under this new agreement, meta-data provided by Europeana network partners is being released under a Creative Commons 0 v1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication."

"-- you can filter events then select "more" to see further details and a list of relevant publications based on the event speakers and the event theme; this can give a slightly better idea of what might be going on, as you can review the published work of those involved."

Open Knowledge Foundationin Bibliographica-projekti (http://bibliographica.org/): palvelu joka sisältää bibliografista metadataa avoimesti. Mukana ollut myös Edinburghin yliopiston IDEALab.

"we wanted to retrieve information from our bibliographica site to render in Wikipedia, and so as the pages are rendered with specific markup we can use the ISBN numbers present on the wikipedia articles to make consults to the bibliographica database"

"The first outcome of the open licence agreement is that the metadata provided by national libraries to Europeana.eu, Europe's digital library, museum and archive, via the CENL service The European Library, will have a Creative Commons Universal Public Domain Dedication, or CC0 licence. This metadata relates to millions of digitised texts and images coming into Europeana from initiatives that include Google's mass digitisations of books in the national libraries of the Netherlands and Austria."

Freebase is an open, Creative Commons licensed repository of structured data of almost 22 million entities.

a new project - open source drug discovery for malaria. Initially the participants are my group at the University of Sydney and the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), but naturally as an open project we need to expand beyond this.
