What makes data so special, compared to algorithms to handle the data?<BR/><BR/>Do you really consider any existing library (of any kind) practically useful with information technologies? Seriously, what century do you come from, or have you found eternal life that you can spend unlimited amount of time to mine the data by hand and paper?<BR/><BR/>I really do not see why data is not just equally important as source...<BR/><BR/>And why do you think it is important to make the distinction anyway??Egon Willighagenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470952136305035540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17889588.post-62904932337155862992009-03-03T22:32:00.000+01:002009-03-03T22:32:00.000+01:00Take 3 re. blog post link re.

It is the key to everything. <BR/><BR/>You don't need bloated unmaintanable code to exploit data. You simply don't. Model you data, make it accessible in a manner where data access and representation are separated (i.e. what you see re. HTTP) and you will be very very happy as time goes on.<BR/><BR/>Open Source isn't useless but it simply doesn't match Openly accessible data over the long run re. value. <BR/><BR/>Links:<BR/><BR/>1. http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com/weblog/kidehen@openlinksw.com%27s%20BLOG%20%5B127%5D/1497 -- post about the subjectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17889588.post-7221246239222702882009-03-03T11:47:00.000+01:002009-03-03T11:47:00.000+01:00I could not agree more, but I am not supporting an...I could not agree more, but I am not supporting any kind of capitalism here or there. There is no such things that OD is better than OS. Regarding the capitalism don't you agree that even academic institutions are holding so many patents those are no use for them, but still they never stop claiming it. Observations such as companies are releasing data in bigger than ever just hyped. They release data on regular basis, so the patents also expire after 20 years. If that data was so much good then why their drug pipelines are so dry, and by sitting on data no one can make money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
