Wouldn't it be nice...

... if we had some papers for the 4th International Digital Curation Conference in Edinburgh (dinner in the Castle, anyone?) next December, created in a completely open fashion by a group of people who have perhaps never met, using data that's publicly available, and where the data and data structures in the paper are tagged (semantic web???), attached as supplementary materials, or deposited so as to be publicly available.No guarantees, folks, since the resulting paper has to get through the Programme Committee rather than just me. But it would have a wonderful feeling of symmetry...
