"The EU-funded OpenKnowledge program is a smart toolkit
designed to unlock the hidden resources of the web that can't
be accessed by web sites and browsers alone. With a small,
downloadable piece of Java code, users can coordinate and
share information with each other more directly than through
traditional means. To highlight the potential of the
OpenKnowledge system, researchers have put it to work in three
different areas: healthcare services, emergency management,
and proteomics research. "
