looks at
challenges to open access and open data. "
What this shows is that
however many battles are won, the war against closed, proprietary
approaches goes on. Open source and open standards have made huge strides,
but in other areas - open access and open data, for example - the fight is
only beginning. If you want to track what's happening here the best place
to go is Peter Suber's Open Access News. This will not only keep you
completely up to date on the latest developments in the open access and
open data worlds (with a fair amount of related open source stuff thrown in
for good measure), but it will also highlight all the important campaigns
and petitions that need your help. As recent events in the open source and
open standards world have shown, individuals can make a real
difference."
