Alexis Madrigal, Google to Host Terabytes of Open-Source Science Data, Wired Science, January 18, 2008. Excerpt:
Comment. For background, see my post from March 2007. At that time, Google was offering to transfer huge datasets from lab to lab, at its own expense, provided it could make copies for offline storage and eventual Google-hosted OA. I'm very glad to see that it hasn't forgotten the OA part of the plan and is even adding tools for visualization, annotation, and user comments. Update. For a critical view of Palimpsest, see Chuck Humphrey's comments at the IASSIST blog. |
