Medpedia
Medics may already know about this project, but I’ve just read about it in the latest RLUK/SCONUL news round up – Medpedia is to be launched this year, a project that is “an extraordinary global effort to collect, organize and make understandable, the world’s best information about health, medicine and the body and make it freely available“. It’s to be a very collaborative project, with contributions from Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley and University of Michigan, and other health organisations.

Google has launched a new service, Knol, where their intention is to build up a collection of ‘authoritative’ articles on specific subjects.

As Peter Godwin suggests at his blog, there may be scope for doing comparative exercises with Wikipedia, Knol and Britannica in the future.
