Open Worlds The transformation of data and communication to digital formats over the past thirty years has seen a number of key milestones. We are now at another the availability of unlimited quantities of data anywhere and at anytime. This will revolutionize what universities do.
Milestones Early 1980s: first desktops ( 64k should be enough for anyone ) Early 1990s: Internet, most places Early 2000s: Digital multimedia, expanding memory Early 2010s: ubiquitous bandwidth, massive memory (a terabyte takeaway)
Google gets it Gmail and living in the Cloud Enabling access to massive data sets; Google Books, Maps, street-views etc The power of locational intelligence (anticipating what you want because of where you are) Mobile devices and thin clients (disposable interfaces) Interoperability (Android rather than Apple) What people will kill for (advertising revenues)
Open Access: the intermediate step Subscription gateways: tollgates that inhibit knowledge growth The alternative: adding value through specialized services Repositories: more than 500 000 deposits Green , Gold and National Licences
Open Data: the step-change Virtual Salford an example BIS s Research and Innovation Strategy open data and innovation Key issues: interoperability, data protection, metadata, digital archives
Universities of the Future New forms of publishing Complex problems, multiple points of analysis Networks as primary assets Exponential growth trends
