"Purpose:\n# Act as a central point of reference and support for people interested in open bibliographic data\n# Identify relevant projects and practices.

"In this paper; we discuss the provision of bibliographic data as an extension of the open source concept. Our particular concern is the sustainability of such projects. We describe the RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) project; probably the largest 'open source' bibliographic database; and show that open source bibliographic data collection is sustainable."

This is the exact analogue of an open source software failure mode: often companies think they can get all the benefits of open source simply by releasing their source code. The best dinner parties are about the other people. Similarly, the best open source projects have great people, attract great people, and the source is simply what they're working on: necessary but not sufficient. You can build it but they won't come. All successful open source projects build communities of supportive engaged developers who identify with the project and keep it productive and useful.

JHS-järjestelmän mukaiset suositukset koskevat valtion- ja kunnallishallinnon tietohallintoa. Sisällöltään JHS voi olla julkishallinnossa käytettäväksi tarkoitettu yhtenäinen menettelytapa, määrittely tai ohje. JHS-järjestelmän tavoitteena on parantaa tietojärjestelmien ja niiden tietojen yhteentoimivuutta, luoda edellytykset hallinto- ja sektorirajoista riippumattomalle toimintojen kehittämiselle sekä tehostaa olemassa olevan tiedon hyödyntämistä.
