Open Record Book
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open Record Book, started in 2006 as the first truly open-content and free record maintainer and source reference. While Wikipedia maintains records submitted freely, there is no organized effort to determine the veracity of submitted records as with other official record sites.
[edit] Origins
On 3 December 2005, Ted Coombs, forensic scientist and current Guinness Record Book holder, decided to create a true open-content record site while maintaining a reviewed content format. This record resource is currently only available from the Internet but plans to publish a book are in place.
[edit] Evolution
In addition to the normal list of feats and natural records, Open Record Book also includes the unique feature of local school athletic records, something that has never been attempted in the past. While adoption has been slow it has slowly been increasing as people become aware of this resource.
