In February we start a new section called "Recommendation of the month" with the aim of pointing an article, project, web, talk, etc. that may be interesting in the GBIF context.

This month's recommendation is a video talk of Tim Berners-Lee about the next Web. Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web 20 years ago. For this new project, he's building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together. This talk remarks the effort that some developed countries do in order to make data available and ready to use. For instance: http://data.gov/ y http://data.gov.uk/
