Steve Buckingham, Data's Future Shock, Nature 428, 774 (15 April 2004). Nature's technology feature focuses on bioinformatics data sources, and features a sidebar "Exploring the public domain," which documents freely-available resources including journals such as the Nucleic Acids Research database issue and the variety of databases searchable through NCBI's Entrez and European organizations such as the European Bioinformatics Institute and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
