Summary:
Use the link to access the video presentation made at CERN by Daniel Mietchen, OKFN Wikimedian in Residence for Open Science. “During this presentation the topics that will touched upon include various ways in which wikis are being used in scientific research and publishing, currently, as well as some that are more speculative. Many of the examples are drawn from the biological sciences, and the talk is intended to stimulate debate as to how the physics community - and CERN in particular - can enhance its interaction with the Wikimedia community, or via Wikimedia with the public at large.
