The Names Project is a JISC-funded initiative "to scope the requirements of UK institutional and subject repositories for a service that will reliably and uniquely identify individuals and institutions". The Software Requirements Specification for the Names prototype name authority service was released on July 11, 2008. (Thanks to Charles Bailey.)

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.
