OA spam

The Algorithmic Engineering group at the University of Rome is building the first OA collection of human-filtered spam. The purpose is to provide a useful dataset for spam researchers and tool developers. (Thanks to ResourceShelf.)

PS: Of course spam is already OA. This collection will be "value-added" spam by virtue of the human filtering. Sound familiar?
