Openly sharing data, source, or information access is a basic concept to good process and progress of development, as an implementation of medical research 2.0 and science. Note that, it will remove the culture and social barriers of propietary system, closed source softwares, printed only papers, exclusive and expensive published journals.
With the help of digital technology, the open initiative build the concept more efficiently. The digital divide is still exist in some countries. Not only how to use the computers, Internet, collects datas, linking databases between primary health cares and practitioners, but also how to use the information properly.
In the open source world,
GNU/Linux and their distros (Slackware, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Mandriva, Gentoo, etc) is a large open community with continuous development. Some of them are also supported by commercial vendors.
What about scientific datas? Research 2.0?
Google and SourceForge hosted open source codes. Wikipedia, Physician Medical Wiki (
Ask Dr Wiki on Dani Iswara .Net), and Medpedia create open content. Medical web and blogs share open content license for multi target audience. It can be set of text-based documents, presentational materials, and rich multimedia files.
Open scientific data will increase participation of more people in research. As natural as GNU/Linux and other open source softwares.
Open Medicine, Open Science to Open Research
Read my previous post titled
Open Medicine as Open Science. Then imagine these situation:
- scientific journals and papers are more freely available on the Internet, and many more cited,
- web-based medical data polling can be accessed by any researchers,
- same data resulting many reports based on their own methodology around the world,
- collaboration of researchers (tele-research) via social networking,
- apomediation (process of disintermediation) of Web 2.0, Medicine 2.0, Health 2.0, to deliver the quality content for consumers, etc.
In the good of the openness, there are questions:
- How about the quality of open content (eg. Wikipedia, blogs) and open science?
- What about the research funds and editorial work, if it is going to be free?
- Ethical problem of human data sample?
We were in the Open world, share yours... :)

hmm basicly, i have similar concern on relation between technology and changes. Just like your's, i have similar understanding on how printed media will survive on the new world emerging's changes such as internet and ebook.
well, based on what some my friend's who work on book publisher especially education book publisher, they see this business becoming a barren land.
Goverment has a new liberated policy on education. They provide free to download ebook on some of their go.id website, This ebook based on copyrighted book which had been bought by educational minister fund. The purpose of this buying was solely for education. Every teacher in indonesia can download it and then teach them to their student.
This policy will help many poor student because they will have standard book with merely nothing. But on contrary, this policy has deadly impact for those publiher.
i think this is a dillema.

uwiuw,
printed media is not dead yet :) the culture is one of the reason, I guess..
that standard book with the free or cheap price is not the only one source for education, but yes, for the equality

selain ringan juga ndak kalah dibanding windows, mengenai postingannya bli, klo medical data dishare mungkin baik juga bli, asal jangan nanti malah disalahgunakan oleh seseorang data yang dishare untuk kejahatan dan tindakan kriminal.
mungkin klo engga semuanya dishare bagus ya bli, untuk pengetahuan juga buat masyarakat awam. Yang tertentu saja dan harus ada policynya biar aman :D
