The Coming Data Explosion
The Coming Data Explosion: "The Coming Data Explosion
Written by Richard MacManus / May 31, 2010 3:35 AM / 14 Comments � Prior Post Next Post �
One of the key aspects of the emerging Internet of Things - where real-world objects are connected to the Internet - is the massive amount of new data on the Web that will result. As more and more 'things' in the world are connected to the Internet, it follows that more data will be uploaded to and downloaded from the cloud. And this is in addition to the burgeoning amount of user-generated content - which has increased 15-fold over the past few years, according to a presentation that Google VP Marissa Mayer made last August at Xerox PARC. Mayer said during her presentation that this 'data explosion is bigger than Moore's law.'"

The following guest post is from Olav Anders �vreb�Assistant Professor at the University of Bergen, and member of the Open Knowledge Foundation’s Working Group on EU Open Data. This text was first published as a European Public Sector Information Platform Topic Report on ePSIplatform.eu.
A series of promising new initiatives gives reasons to be a lot more optimistic about government data reuse in Norway today than anyone could have been a year ago. The right tools will hopefully soon be available. Now convincing examples of reuse are needed."

We’re extremely proud that data.gov.uk - the UK Government’s open data portal - uses CKAN, OKF’s open source registry of open data. In the months in 2009 that led up to the release of data.gov.uk, OKF worked closely with the Cabinet Office to help them realise their vision of making public data publicly available in an open, reusable way. But our involvement with the UK government didn’t start there. Civil servants - particularly members of the Office for Public Sector Information - have been attending OKF events like OKCon since at least 2005. And we know that Sir Tim Berners Lee - who was brought on as an expert advisor to the Government as they worked up to the data.gov.uk project - was reading the OKF blog prior to his now famous “Raw Data Now!” talk at TED!"

�As received in email.
JISC, the Digital Preservation Coalition, Portico and the University of London Computer Centre are pleased to announce the release of a new report investigating long term access to digitised collections.
The digital universe grew by 62% in 2009, but those adding to these resources need to think long term if they want to make best use of their public funding. Clearly stated preservation policies are essential in guaranteeing that researchers in the future will be able to access and use a digital resource, according to a new report funded by JISC. But the responsibility needs to be shared between funders, who must articulate the need for data curation, and universities, who need to implement a preservation policy for each digital collection."
