[okfn-discuss] [Fwd: [semanticweb] OPEN RESEARCH SOCIETY: An interesting movement]

[Rufus Pollock]

Dear Soren,

Thanks for passing this on. I took a look and they certainly appear to 
have some related interests though I would say their web site was a 
little 'unusual'. It would be interesting to know what exact projects 
they are/planning to work on as the info they actually have is a little 
vague^[1].

"Our members work at international level in order to create an OPEN 
KNOWLEDGE DISSEMINATION INFRASTRUCTURE consisted by open editions, open 
networks and open systems linking people around the world. We want to 
promote PEACE, and SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT through an Open Knowledge 
manifesto."
