I have talked a lot with Cameron and I think he can take forward some of
the ideas. They include:
* a formal technology to produce Open metadata for the scientific
literature (Pubcrawler/Bibserver)Small Business

* technology to read the licence on a paper and see if it's BOAI-compliant.
(For me there are two sorts of Open Access: (a) BOAI-compliant (b)
NOT-Open-Access. It's true/false - there is no green/gold/gratis/libre
"fileNotFound". Our time is coming and people want this service. BOAI or
nothing.
* technology to see if a paper can be "read" from the splash page. This
will cover things like "Oh it was open access when we published it but that
was only for 6 months" (Elsevier did this to me - yes , I published with
them because there was a special OA issue - the experience was so awful
(200 emails) that I vowed never to do it again)
* the "Mounce plot". We talked yesterday. I'll let Ross describe it but
basically we need a score for NOT-open-access papers. This could get a lot
of attention. Basically BOIA/CC-BY/CC0/PD scores (say) 100. CC-NC scores
-20.  CC-ND another -20 no licence but waffle scores -60. Use of "fully
open" for non-BOAI scores -100. Closed access scores -500. These will be
arbitrary but we should agree on  them and publish them.
