Description / Table of Contents: Noch nie war es einfacher, Menschen und ihr Wissen in Form von Texten, Bildern oder Tönen zusammenzubringen und zu vernetzen. Freie Netze sind der Versuch, dieses Potential von Internet und PC auszuschöpfen und möglichst alle Menschen daran teilhaben zu lassen. FREIES WISSEN. Der Zugang zu digitalen Netzen bedeutet noch nicht den Zugang zu Inhalten. Ein freier Zugang zu Wissen ist aber die Basis für Innovation und Emanzipation. Den neuen Möglichkeiten für freien Zugang zu Wissen stehen neue und alte, soziale und rechtliche Barrieren gegenüber. Von siebzehn Autorinnen und Autoren werden die verschiedenen Anwendungsbereiche von Freien Netzen und Freiem Wissen dargestellt. In jedem der neun Kapitel kommen in Interviews Menschen wie Lawrence Lessig oder Richard Stallman zu Wort, die mit dem Thema als ExpertInnen, PionierInnen oder unmittelbar Betroffene zu tun hatten oder haben. Am Ende jedes Kapitels finden sich konkrete Projektvorschläge zur Umsetzung auf lokaler Ebene als Beitrag für das Linzer Kulturhauptstadtjahr 2009.

Description / Table of Contents: With the success of open access publishing, Massive open online courses (MOOCs) and open education practices, the open approach to education has moved from the periphery to the mainstream. This marks a moment of victory for the open education movement, but at the same time the real battle for the direction of openness begins. As with the green movement, openness now has a market value and is subject to new tensions, such as venture capitalists funding MOOC companies. This is a crucial time for determining the future direction of open education. In this volume, Martin Weller examines four key areas that have been central to the developments within open education: open access, MOOCs, open education resources and open scholarship. Exploring the tensions within these key arenas, he argues that ownership over the future direction of openness is significant to all those with an interest in education.

Description / Table of Contents: In 2010 the Panton Principles for Open Data in Science were published. These principles were founded upon the idea that "Science is based on building on, reusing and openly criticising the published body of scientific knowledge" (http://pantonprinciples.org) and they provide a succinct list of the fundamentals to observe when making your data open. Intended for a broad audience of academics, publishers and librarians, Issues in Research Data explores the implications of the Panton Principles through a number of perspectives on open research data in the sciences and beyond. The book features chapters by open data experts in a range of academic disciplines, covering practical information on licensing, ethics, and advice for data curators, alongside more theoretical issues surrounding the adoption of open data. As the book is open access, each chapter can stand alone from the main volume so that communities can host, distribute, build upon and remix the content that is relevant to them. Readers can access the online version via the QR code or DOI link at the front of the book.

Description / Table of Contents: We have long moved on from a mere information age to the era of big data. Here, databases represent both the enormous potential for gaining knowledge of data collection and the alarming information excesses of digital culture. Furthermore, the term refers to concrete technologies and processes of gathering and accessing digital information. Media theory has to locate databases in between these very different conceptions. Marcus Burkhardt retraces the history of databases and asks how technical procedures of processing digital information determine what can be found how in databases and what knowledge can be gained through them. | Wir leben längst nicht mehr nur im Informationszeitalter, sondern in der Ära von Big Data. In dieser steht die Datenbank gleichzeitig für die riesigen Erkenntnispotenziale von Informationssammlungen wie für die bedrohlichen Informationsexzesse der digitalen Medienkultur. Zudem bezeichnet der Begriff konkrete Technologien und Verfahren der Sammlung und Bereitstellung von digitalen Informationen. Zwischen diesen sehr unterschiedlichen Auffassungen gilt es, Datenbanken medientheoretisch zu verorten. Marcus Burkhardt zeichnet die Geschichte der Datenbanken nach und fragt, wie technische Verfahren der Verwaltung digitaler Informationen bedingen, was auf welche Weise in Datenbanken gefunden und durch sie gewusst werden kann.
