#19 Open source is now a term that is increasingly understood, or at least talked about. FLOSS vs. open source is still problematic. Jim de la Hunt (@jdlh) twittered that he’s been hearing a lot of open source, but not really mentioning FLOSS. I responded - o/s is somewhat heard of (That’s software I can use for free, right?), FLOSS is radical and scary (just like pirates) Anyway, let’s pretend we understand open source and move on to the next battle keeping data open /from the content we \"generate\" for many social sites to the closed silos of government and businesses.

#25 Technology: lots of platforms and frameworks already produce formats and have APIs - if you’re building from scratch, ask / require your tech partner to include them Licensing: do you want companies to play? then don’t use CC Non Commercial Attitude: lots of businesses get confused about their ownership of data - governments are just

#39 http://www.freebase.com/view/en/what_is_freebase Freebase is unique among online databases because a single Freebase topic can encompass many different kinds of information. In other databases there would have to be a separate topic for each category, or a completely separate database. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger would appear in a movie database as an actor, a political database as a governor, and a bodybuilder database as a Mr. Universe. In Freebase there is one topic for Arnold Schwarzenegger that contains information about all three facets of his public life. The unified topic acts as an information hub, making it easy to find and contribute information about him regardless of what kind of information it is.
