Public Access Policy Proceeding

As part of its proceeding on public access to published, federally funded research, on Monday December 21, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy will ask the public to weigh in on such questions as: In what format should data be submitted in order to make it easy to search and retrieve information, and to make it easy for others to link to it? Are there existing digital standards for archiving and interoperability to maximize public benefit? How are these anticipated to change?
