Kevin Davies, EBI Launches Genome Reviews Database, Bio-IT World, May 14, 2004. Davies reports on the European Bioinformatics Institute's release of the freely-available Genome Reviews, "a standardized resource for completely sequenced genomes, consisting of 256 chromosomes and plasmids, representing the complete genomes of 153 prokaryotic organisms." Evidently much of this genomic data, upon being deposited in public repositories, becomes "static," and the Reviews database will address that issue by correlating and cross-referencing information from additional databases such as UniProt and InterPro.

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.
