Open Data Movement

Hi Cristen,

Looks great so far, really well rounded information about each subject heading! I'm really looking forward to reading your section on the open data movement, I've heard a lot about it from around SLAIS, and most of it is very positive, I did come across this blog post recently, that although you probably can't use as a resource for this wiki, it's an interesting take on the movement, claiming that it's not really a movement at all, and it's failing more than succeeded! Check it out here: http://whimsley.typepad.com/whimsley/2012/05/why-the-open-data-movement-is-a-joke.html

There are a lot of links in the blog that you may find interesting reads, because we all have a lot of time for leisurely reading right now ;)

Great job though!

Hi Taryn, thank you for your comments and the link. I think the blog post is a good place for me to start to think about the movement in a less idealized way. I have yet to figure out if Open Data is going to be a topic in my page, but I think that copyright is one factor (among many) in the movement that deserves attention.
