PDFWikimedia commons valued images, curation and discovery

10 June 2008Discovery is perhaps the biggest challenge and opportunity faced by the cultural commons - however you want to define "commons" - public domain, Free, everything CC licensed, all of "Web 2.0", or something else.

However you define it, the commons includes at least many thousands to many millions of cultural works in every obvious medium - too much for any individual to make sense of. So it's always exciting to see major hubs develop and refine methods for curating and exposing the best of the commons.
