information sharing is at the root of scholarship and education
the system of print publishing is a system of sharing knowledge
then came the move to digital ...
Monday, March 1, 2010
the web revolutionized search, commerce, collaboration
Monday, March 1, 2010
sharing became cheaper, easier technically
costs of copying, moving, storing ... down to nearly zero
ability to link between nodes of information (dating back to 1980s)
Monday, March 1, 2010
yet ... most of the useful knowledge
is inaccessible.
most of the useful knowledge is in the wrong technology.
the ability to build upon is often (unknowingly) stifled.
Monday, March 1, 2010
make sharing easy, legal and scalable
integrated approach
building part of the infrastructure for knowledge sharing

1. publishing:
it’s no longer about the container.

media company response:adjust the physical media
force the cd format
ignore that people...like to make mixes.

2.the “paper metaphor”
and why access is crucial
Monday, March 1, 2010
scholarship entrenched in idea of transmitting knowledge via paper
mentality reflected even in the way we describe “papers”
static, one-dimensional documents, compilations
Monday, March 1, 2010
in the digital world, “papers” can become living, breathing works
digitally enabled education
linking to courseware, relevant discussions, information, videos, tools
Monday, March 1, 2010
3.content needs to be legally and
technically accessible
... and what we mean by “access”
Monday, March 1, 2010
indexing, translation, redistribution: disallowed
Monday, March 1, 2010
Open Access (OA) unlocks the content
Monday, March 1, 2010
“ By open access to the literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link
to the full texts of the articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for
any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal or technical barriers other than those inseparable from
gaining access to the internet itself.”

“The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged
and cited.”

4. don’t forget the technical
component
Monday, March 1, 2010
agreement is hard.
Monday, March 1, 2010
design for maximum reuse
data without structure and annotation is a lost opportunity.
keep interoperability and access in mind
allow for snap together integration of the tools, courseware, research literature
Monday, March 1, 2010
what’s needed?
common standards, right softwareaccessible data and content
harmonization technically, legallyannotation, ability to link
build for network effects
Monday, March 1, 2010
education is iterative
allow for that adaptation
discoverability is key
