- Abstract
The article discusses the Information Commons database by Maya Design. It is a new type of database and peer-to-peer system. It allows many people to securely post and share large amounts of distinct data. According to Josh Knauer, director of advanced development at Maya, the power of the Information Commons approach is the ability to securely share data which are all encrypted and digitally signed when posted. Researchers can post their data and can selectively designate who can view it.
