Jason Pan, Taiwan launches knowledge-sharing network, Taiwan News, September 5, 2004. Excerpt: "With the aim of promoting the free flow of ideas and supporting knowledge sharing in the public domain, Taiwan launched a 'Creative Commons' network yesterday, to join 23 other countries already leading the drive in this international movement. Spearheaded by the Institute of Information Science (IIS) at Academia Sinica, supporters of the 'Creative Commons' Taiwan project said it heralds a new era of change in public information access, by jettisoning the heavy burdens of existing copyright laws."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
