I have written earlier about the Amsterdam Manifesto<\/a>. That arose out of a conference on the theme of “beyond the PDF<\/em>“, with one simple question at its heart: what can be done to liberate data from containers it was not designed to be in<\/em>? The latest meeting on this topic will happen in\u00a0January 2015 as FORCE2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The format is suitably modern, starting with a Hackathon, and then two days of talks, posters and demos. We will be presenting both a talk and a demo. In the spirit of emancipated data, we have placed the latter into a container that is most certainly not a PDF. That demo has been archived, and there assigned a DOI[1]<\/a><\/span> and for good measure transcluded into this post in its entirety. We hope this demonstrates that such “containers” can be usefully moved around to where they might be needed. I should say that the core of this demo is not just the data, but the metadata associated with it. Metadata renders that data discoverable (mineable) and its usage measurable.†<\/sup><\/p>\n
