I have not listened to this yet, but looks interesting:
http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail808.html

 From IT Conversations:
MAYA's Information Commons strives to allow people to freely share and
remix many kinds of information by building a network of interconnected
repositories of information. As different types and sources of data are
added to the network, the potential value of the information that can be
created from that data increases. Through an open, distributed
architecture, Information Commons provides a platform where public data
can be accessed, annotated, corrected, and otherwise enhanced.

MAYA projects already in the Information Commons include; easing the
task of connecting human services providers with thier users; and
layering environmental toxin information over geo-specific maps of
health problems. The company is now building the peer-to-peer Civium
Workbench application to provide access to the Information Commons and
to share any information added or edited with the rest of the Commons.
