Grid Computing and Open Source

In this podcast, I speak with MIT's McKenzie Smith about the Science Commons, governance of DSpace, The MIT Libraries' investigation of Semantic Web technology via their SIMILE project, grid computing vis-a-vis the SDSC Storage Resource Broker, and digital preservation.
