Open source enables large distributed science projects in a way that closed, proprietary software never will– here is some interesting news from IBM:

ARMONK, N.Y. – October 3,2011 -IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced that the company is donating a portion of its Blue Spruce Project code to the Dojo Foundation’s Open Cooperative Web Framework (OpenCoweb). The Blue Spruce technology, which was developed in the IBM labs, enables real-time cooperative web solutions.

It is already being utilized in an online data exploration system for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPDGeneR), and to create customized solutions for the healthcare industry by iTel Companies, Inc.

With the code donation to the OpenCoweb Framework, developers can build new solutions that allow concurrent real-time interactions between remote users and external data sources such as a co-authoring editor. The OpenCoweb Framework is built on web Standards and consists of JavaScript libraries. The libraries serve as building blocks for Web application developers to design custom solutions for a variety of industries such as custom imaging applications for healthcare or collaborative investment portfolios for the finance industry.
