Connected Commons Coverage
Following our recent announcement of the Talis Connected Commons, there has been some significant coverage in the blogosphere. I’ll list a few of the links I’ve seen here, and if you’ve come across others, or have covered the Connected Commons yourself, please share in the comments.
Marshall Kirkpatrick captured some of the Linked Data future vision with his timely coverage over on Read Write Web. Marshall’s coverage sets the stage for potentials and takes a very much forward-looking view on the Connected Commons.
With Talis’ use of the Creative Commons CC0 License as one route for the Connected Commons data licensing, the Science Commons blog has made reference to the scheme. I quote: “We commend Talis for using CC0 as a means to clearly mark and identify public domain data, and look forward to see what fruit this tree will bring for the open data / linked data communities.”

“We’ll certainly be taking this up.”
“We are living in a world where data sharing, data access, and open data in general are getting more and more important, and available.”
“That last bit is what has Mike and me interested – finding new ways of making use of the relationships between data and content that all the various semantic tools unearth.”
Again, if you have something to say on your own blog, or have come across more coverage of Connected Commons, drop it in the comments.
