The role of the information commons in geoscience - Seminar

You may have read about a project that is now underway, on "Access to Australian geoscientific information - a tragedy of the commons?".  Articles on its intent have appeared in the PESA Newsletter, AusIMM Bulletin and TAG and in an earlier issue of the Great Australian Byte (see December 2006 edition).

The project has been scoped using the concept of the information commons and what it might mean in the context of geoscience information.  Check the Researching the Information Commons(RIC) website on this concept.
And, you may wish to come along to the seminar on Friday 28th November
2008 at Curtin University of Technology Bldg 210, room 104. Registration closes 21 November 2008.

The dinner will be held at a restaurant in Darling Harbour. Please email Kerry Smith (k.smith@curtin.edu.au) with your wish to attend this AGIA dinner by MONDAY 6th JANUARY 2009 so that a table can be booked and you are advised of the venue.
