Creative Commons, RDF-enhanced search PROTOTYPE. Now here's an interesting resource discovery tool. It searches for works licensed with Creative Commons. The search interface is rather primitive, but enables one to limit to media or format (e.g. video,audio). Moreover, the user can select "I want to make commercial use" and/or "I want to create derivative works" to further restrict search results. While the accuracy of searches is not yet clear, it can pull up some heretofore unseen and interesting (to say nothing of open) sites. (Source: creative Commons: weblog)

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.
