The web was invented by a scientist for scientists. Yet, partly because of its intrinsic conservatism, science has in some ways been slow to make the most of what the web has to offer. Timo Hannay will look at some examples of scientists (and even science publishers) exploiting the web in interesting ways, and discuss what this might mean for the future of science itself.

Recently the Berkman Center released “The Digital Learning Challenge: Obstacles to Educational Uses of Copyrighted Material in the Digital Age,” a year-long study on the relationship between copyright law and education. Overseen by Prof. William Fisher and conducted by Berkman fellow William McGeveran, the paper studies whether innovative uses of digital technology were hampered by copyright restrictions.

In this MediaBerkman special, Colin Rhinesmith and Amanda Michel looked closely into the paper’s case studies by interviewing Prof. William Fisher, Berkman fellow Bill McGeveran, Berkman student fellow Jackie Harlow, Washington College of Law Professor Peter Jaszi, WGBH Deputy General Counsel Jay Fialkov, New World Records Vice President and Trustee Lisa Kahlden, and George Mason Professor/Associate Director or the Center for History and New Media Mills Kelly.

Dan Burk of the University of Minnesota Law School hosts a discussion about the adoption of open source strategies for science as part of the Berkman Centers Tuesday Luncheon Series.

In the age of bioinformatics and e-science, the scientific community is increasingly advocating licensing strategies drawn from open source software development. But the culture and practice of scientific research community differs in significant ways from that of open source coding, posing new legal and cultural challenges to the adoption of open source strategies for science.
