Subject: Statement on Open Cyberinfrastructure from NSF
Peter, Stevan
At the recent December meeting of NSF's Advisory Committee on
Cyberinfrastructure (ACCI) the following statement was agreed in the
minutes of the previous meeting:
"In order to help catalyze and facilitate the growth of advanced CI, a critical
component is the adoption of open access policy for data, publications
and software."
CI = Cyberinfrastructure.
Brewster Kahle was one of the architects of this statement and I know
that Brewster would like to see this advice from ACCI to NSF gain wide
publicity. He may be willing to provide a supporting statement. Ed
Seidel is the new Director of the Office of Cyberinfrastructure and
the committee were also keen to see this more widely promoted ?
Hope this is of interest ?
Tony
