Open Access, Archives, Repositories
Open Access
- [Open Access Directory] (http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Main_Page)
The Open Access Directory (OAD) is a compendium of simple factual lists about open access (OA) to science and scholarship, maintained by the OA community at large.

Some Resources
- [Public Knowledge] (http://www.publicknowledge.org/)
Public Knowledge preserves the openness of the Internet and the public's access to knowledge, promotes creativity through balanced copyright, and upholds and protects the rights of consumers to use innovative technology lawfully.
- [Harvard Open Access Project] (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/hoap)
The Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP) fosters the growth of open access to research, within Harvard and beyond, using a combination of consultation, collaboration, community-building, and direct assistance.
- [Open Access (the book, by Peter Suber, MIT Press, June 2012)] (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/hoap/Open_Access_(the_book))
- [Creative Commons - Data] (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Data)
Much of the potential value of data is to society at large — more data has the potential to facilitate enhanced scientific collaboration and reproducibility, more efficient markets, increased government and corporate transparency, and overall to speed discovery and understanding of solutions to planetary and societal needs. A big part of the potential value of data, in particular its society-wide value, is realized by use across organizational boundaries. How does this occur (legally)? Many sites give narrow permission to use data via terms of service. Much ad hoc data sharing occurs among researchers. And increasingly, open data is facilitated by sharing under public terms to manage copyright restrictions that might otherwise limit dissemination or reuse of data, e.g. CC licenses or the CC0 public domain dedication.
- [Science Commons - Scholar's Copyright Project] (http://sciencecommons.org/projects/publishing/)
At a time when we have the technologies to enable global access to and distributed processing of scientific research and data, legal and technical restrictions are making it difficult to connect the dots. Even when research and data is made public, it’s often locked up by regimes or contracts that prohibit changing file formats or languages, integrating data, semantic enrichment, text mining and more. These restrictions sharply limit the impact of published research, and prevent us from exploiting the potential of the Web for accelerating scientific discovery. In the Scholar’s Copyright Project, Science Commons develops tools and resources for expanding and enhancing open access (OA) to published research and data. We believe that knowledge-sharing systems and formats based on the paper metaphor block innovation, and that open access is prerequisite for finding new ways to reap the value of the vast amounts of public research now being produced.

Open Data, Open Research, Open Science, Open Knowledge
- [Open Data @ Wikipedia] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_data)
Open data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. The goals of the open data movement are similar to those of other "Open" movements such as open source, open content, and open access. The philosophy behind open data has been long established (for example in the Mertonian tradition of science), but the term "open data" itself is recent, gaining popularity with the rise of the Internet and World Wide Web and, especially, with the launch of open-data government initiatives such as Data.gov.
- [Open Research @ Wikipedia] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_research)
Open research is research conducted in the spirit of free and open source software. Much like open source schemes that are built around a source code that is made public, the central theme of open research is to make clear accounts of the methodology freely available via the internet, along with any data or results extracted or derived from them. This permits a massively distributed collaboration, and one in which anyone may participate at any level of the project.
- [Open Science @ Wikipedia] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science)
Open science is the umbrella term of the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open notebook science, and generally making it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge.
- [Open Knowledge @ Wikipedia] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_knowledge)
Open Knowledge is a set of principles and methodologies related to the production and distribution of knowledge works in an open manner. Knowledge is interpreted broadly to include data, content and general information. The Open Knowledge Definition is that knowledge is open if "one is free to use, reuse, and redistribute it without legal, social or technological restriction."[1] The concept is related to open source and the Open Knowledge Definition is directly derived from the Open Source Definition. Open Knowledge can be seen as being a superset of open data, open content and libre open access with the aim of highlighting the commonalities between these different groups.
- Ex. [Open Knowledge Foundation] (http://okfn.org/)
The Open Knowledge Foundation is dedicated to promoting the creation, sharing and application of Open Knowledge in the Digital Age. We believe that an open commons of information together with the tools and communities to utilise it is central to improving our governance, research, economy and culture.
Tagging, Ontologies, Semantics
How to orient, associate, semantically parse data for further processing
Orientation & association
- TagTeam, open-source, social-tagging platform.
TagTeam is open-source middleware designed to stand between social-tagging platforms, like Delicious or Connotea, and readers who subscribe to RSS feeds generated by those platforms. It also functions as a social-tagging platform in its own right, and an RSS/Atom/RDF aggregator. It allows a research community to tag articles, books, datasets, news stories, and other relevant web sites, in order to organize knowledge in the field and alert readers to new developments. Other tagging platforms themselves offer rudimentary versions of these services already. TagTeam goes further by combining user-defined tags or folksonomies on the input side with standard vocabularies or ontologies on the output side. It eliminates duplicates from output feeds, enables project managers to eliminate spam, and frees participants in common research projects from the need to agree on a common tagging platform. Finally, it publishes output feeds based on the arbitrary recombination of input feeds, and publishes output feeds for any tag or arbitrary combination of tags.

- Samabase, a semantic architectural foundation
Transforming latent data-patterns into active and communally beneficial knowledge-resources through structured and polarized fields of modular interaction; trailed by a systematic harvesting device that matches identifiable sequences of knowledge against a natural and self-evident binary-semantic matrix tree; therewith integrating the patterns and phases of evolving insight into individually, intra-communally, inter-communally, and universally accessible and workable clarifying pools for the coalescence and reconciliation of the conscious commons of human fabric and awareness; thereby advancing a productive communal culture of fair exchange and natural equality across the interdependent system as a whole.
