OPEN ACCESS AND OPEN SCIENCE

Dear all,

With regard to some current discussions on open access publishing, here are some useful links to the current state of affairs at the UN, EU and IFLA level for open science and open access (publishing).
Open science and thus open access publishing must be implemented by 2020 in the European Union.
Business models are being developed as we speak and these show a marked difference and departure from current business models, where the emphasis on control of intellectual property will shift to the author instead of the publisher.

Semantic web technologies and semantic search have the potential to play a pivotal role in this new emerging landscape.
