"The Data Liberation Front is an engineering team at Google whose singular goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products. We do this because we believe that any data that you create in (or import into) a product is your own. "

'This sort of thing will still worry privacy advocates, but those concerned more with data portability should find a lot to like in Google's announcement today of its new Data Liberation Front. The Front is an in-house engineering team with a simple mission statement: "Users own the data they store in any of Google's products. Our team's goal is to give users greater control by making it easier for them to move data in and out."'

'Usually, historians are hard-pressed to find any original source material about those who have shaped our civilization. In the Internet era, scholars of science might have too much. Never have so many people generated so much digital data or been able to lose so much of it so quickly, experts at the San Diego Supercomputer Center say. Computer users world-wide generate enough digital data every 15 minutes to fill the U.S. Library of Congress.'

'As libraries begin data mining in the above areas, librarians can anticipate converging toward sets of key questions and consistent metrics for answering them. For example, if a library is considering beginning a digitization program, it is first necessary to decide which resources to digitize. This will hinge on a variety of factors, such as uniqueness, accessibility, and demand. Analysis of library holdings, ILL borrowing requests, circulation statistics, and other data will help quantify these factors and, ultimately, help librarians make informed decisions. As librarians gain more experience in making their data work harder, both in terms of gathering information and applying it, the process of culling data within particular contexts will likely become systematized and consistent; standard decision-making criteria and performance benchmarks will emerge.'

'There is a temptation in library discussions to focus on discovery and end-user issues when thinking of bibliographic data. However, bibliographic data is increasingly important to efficient library operations more generally. Think of the blurring of circulation and resource sharing in consortial arrangements, the issues of managing and tracking print collections in the context of the mass digitization and off site storage initiatives, connections between external discovery environments and library systems, resolution and the management of knowledge bases, and so on. Systemwide data synchronization and data integrity issues are becoming more central. Increasingly we recognize that efficient management of resources imposes data needs.'
