Research@iSummit 2008 (Jul 29 - Aug 1)

Slowly but surely we are approaching the time of this year's iSummit, the largest annual event of the Creative Commons and related communities. But this year will be different. Firstly, this is the first time the event takes place in Asia, in Sapporo in particular. Secondly, this is the first time the event will host a research workshop, called the First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture, a chance for any researcher who is working on commons-related issues to present his/her work in front of an audience of academic peers while also taking part in a larger conference which attracts some of the leading thinkers and practitioners shaping the future of the Internet. For more info on the research workshop you can access the call for papers on the summit website.

Data and visualizations

We have uploaded our latest writing on remix culture, which includes some of the first ever visualizations of large-scale remix activity, using data from the ccMixter online community. You can find the paper in our working papers section. Several data plots are also provided separately in our visualizations section, so check it out. Also, you can now find all the CC jurisdiction scores that we presented at the last iSummit, based on Yahoo backlink counts, in the data section.
