ICA-AtoM (International Council on Archives - Access to Memory) is a free and open source platform for sharing metadata about archival collections, as well as digital objects of the archival items. A new version (1.0.4 beta) was released on November 17, 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.
