The Budapest Open Access Initiative BOAI was a conference convened by the Open Society Institute on December 1 2, 2001. This small gathering of individuals is recognised as one of the major historical, and defining, events of the Open access publishing open access movement. The opening sentence of the Budapest Open Access Initiative encapsulates what the open access movement is all about, and what its potential is An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented public good. The old tradition is academic scholars giving away the results of their research. Faculty at universities are paid by universities and or funding agencies to produce research disseminating the results in peer review ed venues is an expectation. Journals do not buy the articles from the authors or pay royalties on sales. The new technology is the Internet . Together, these have made it possible from everyone in the world to share knowledge freely and openly. The 13 original signatories of the Budapest Open Access Initiative included some of the world s early leaders in the open access movement Leslie Chan of Bioline International Darius Cuplinskas , Melissa Hagemann , Rima Kupryte and Istv n R v of Open Society Institute Michael Eisen of the Public Library of Science Fred Friend ... individuals had signed the initiative.

Image Oki logo.png right The Open Knowledge Initiative O.K.I. is an organization responsible for the specification of software interfaces comprising a Service oriented architecture Service Oriented Architecture SOA based on high level service definitions. Description The Open Knowledge Initiative was initially sponsored by the Mellon Foundation Andrew W. Mellon Foundation , and the MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology . The goal of an Service oriented architecture SOA is to provide a separation between the interface of a service and its underlying implementation such that consumers applications can interoperate across the widest set of service providers implementations and providers can easily be swapped on the fly without modification to application code. Using this architectural style preserves the software development investment as underlying technologies and mechanisms evolve and allows enterprises to incorporate externally developed application software without the cost of a porting effort to achieve interoperability with an existing computing infrastructure. O.K.I. has designed and published a suite of software interfaces known as Open Service Interface Definitions Open Service Interface Definitions OSIDs , each of which describes a logical computing service. In contrast to other interface definitions that encapsulate a specific technology, an OSID more easily permits a variety of technologies to interoperate through its interfaces for a given service. The OSIDs include service definitions for Repository Scheduling Workflow Messaging Course Management Assessment Authentication Authorization Identity Filing More information main Open Service Interface Definitions Current Version 2 OSID specifications can be downloaded from http sourceforge.net projects okiproject Sourceforge .
