MOSAIC is investigating the technical feasibility, service value and issues around exploiting user activity data, primarily to assist resource discovery and evaluation in Higher Education. Such activity data might be combined from:
The Internet Archive's Open Library project is making thousands of library records freely available for anyone's use. You can help build the Open Library by contributing your library's records, or persuading your favorite library to upload theirs.
"The Open Platform is the suite of services that make it possible for our partners to build applications with the Guardian. We've opened up our platform so that everyone can benefit from our journalism, our brand, and the technologies that power guardian.co.uk.
Open data unconference. Live Twitter and Flickr feeds on the home page, lots of updates and scheduling information there, showing exactly what's going on when. Strong live online presence while it's all going on. "This un-conference is about convening a trans-partisan tribe of open government advocates from all walks — government representatives, technologists, developers, NGOs, wonks and activists — to share knowledge on how to use new technologies to make our government transparent and meaningfully accessible to the public."
"CKAN is the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network, a registry of open knowledge packages and projects (and a few closed ones)." Analagous to CPAN, but it's just listings.
