This article describes the motivation for and development of a project I have called PepysMap. PepysMap was inspired by the excellent 'blog of the diary of Samuel Pepys run by Phil Gyford 1. Phil posts diary entries day by day (currently for the year 1662). Each blog post contains the text of the diary entry hyperlinked to pages containing detail of people, places and cultural artifacts referenced from the text. The goal of PepysMap is to shadow the development of the Pepys blog by creating a topic map for each diary entry, showing the relationships between people, places and cultural artifacts.

Open Data Commons is the home of a set of legal 'tools' to help you provide and use open data.

Purpose 1. Act as a central point of reference and support for people who think they are interested in open data in science. 2. Identify practices of early adopters, collecting data and developing guides. 3. Act as a hub for the development of low cost, community driven projects around open data in science.

The three most important aspects of an Open Science model are: 1) Open Access to scientific journals; 2) access to the raw material as Open Data; and 3) access to the transparent Open Process of the research methodologies itself.
