"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.

Aims: 1) further contribution to Open Bibliography; 2) linked data creation and publication

"This report discusses legal, social and technical aspects of open data. The manual can be used by anyone but is especially designed for those seeking to open up data. It discusses the why, what and how of open data - why to go open, what open is, and the how to 'open' data."

"a collection of tips and tricks for data work. This collection is not an finished document but a collection of opinions and evolving best practices. The purpose is not to present all available options and technologies but to pick one and follow it through. DataPatterns is also a collaborative effort"

"LODUM takes this approach to the next level by implementing a strategy that aims to improve the transparency and visibility of the university. The comprehensive LODUM approach includes an Open Access strategy for publications as well as publishing any non-sensitive data online following the Linked Data principles. Both the Open Access and Open Data movements are currently gaining a lot of momentum and will shape the future of academic publishing and accessibility of public data. The University of Münster is the first German university to implement an extensive program following these new approaches, which have recently also been published as recommendations for the future development of university libraries by the German research council."
