An excerpt from the site:
"The sciences depend on access to and use of factual data. Powered by developments in electronic storage and computational capability, scientific inquiry is becoming more data-intensive in almost every discipline. Whether the field is meteorology, genomics, medicine, or high-energy physics, research depends on the availability of multiple databases, from multiple public and private sources, and their openness to easy recombination, search and processing."

An excerpt from the site:
The Machinima Archive is dedicated to the academic investigation and historical preservation of the emerging art form known as machinima. Machinima is filmmaking within real-time, 3D virtual environments, often appropriated from existing video game engines. High-quality new machinima of all kinds are regularly added to the archive for your perusal.

Web 2.0

While I did not actually use the term "web 2.0", much of my own thinking about frameworks is inspired by the ideas and practices that are emerging under the umbrella of web 2.0. This article gives a good overview of the original thinking about web 2.0 models that may be of interest.
