Just last month the National Research Council published a new report, A New Biology for the 21st Century,1 in which the NRC called for a federally funded, decade-long interagency effort to harness biological technology and information. The report called for a New Biology initiative that would take an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to life science research to address some of the most pressing problems in food, environment, energy, and health.

We will examine some alternative legal, policy and institutional approaches, such as a compensatory liability regime for the transfer and use of microbial materials, common-use licensing of scientific data and information, open-access publishing, open data networks, and so forth. In this context, it is important to emphasize that open-access publishing is but one component of a Commons, which is a broader concept that encompasses free access with few reuse restrictions on all types of upstream knowledge resources, subject of course to legitimate countervailing policies or requirements.
