The
Linux Foundation, champion of all things open-source, has just announced a new collaboration with
OpenBEL, an open-source platform for sharing scientific data.
The marriage should provide a boost to OpenBEL, which is already used by many in industry and academia to enable better collaboration on big data projects, such as drug development. The hope is that the nonprofit can do for OpenBEL what it is doing for Linux, which has become lingua franca among collaborative software developers and hackers alike.
