Future City: More Than A Competition—It Grows Into A Campus Collaboration Project!, Susan K. Boyd

Staff publications, research, and presentations

A public event on campus can spark creatively on the part of campus organizations and be a real marketing win for all involved. A competition can also be the centerpiece of a learning experience for the campus and surrounding community as well.

There was something about opening any leather bound edition of anything and being transported by the smell to some distant land, not unlike Charles Swann in Marcel Proust’s famous French novel, A La Recherché du Temps Perdu, Remembrance of Things Past.

Data Publication In The Open Access Initiative, Jens Klump, Roland Bertelmann, Jan Brase, Michael Diepenbroek, Hannes Grobe, Heinke Höck, Michael Lautenschlager, Uwe Schindler, Irina Sens, Joachim Wächter

Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.

The ‘Berlin Declaration’ was published in 2003 as a guideline to policy makers to promote the Internet as a functional instrument for a global scientific knowledge base. Because knowledge is derived from data, the principles of the ‘Berlin Declaration’ should apply to data as well.
