Scaling the
Open Knowledge Ecosystem
The Open Knowledge Foundation
A community-based, not-for-profit. Started in
2004, the Foundation now has members,
projects and partnerships throughout the
world.


We build tools and communities to create, use
and share open knowledge - content and data
that everyone can use, share and build on.



                                  We believe that by creating an open
                                  knowledge commons and developing
                                  tools and communities around this we can
                                  make a significant contribution to
                                  improving governance, research and
                                  the economy.

for analysis and visualisation.
CKAN - Comprehensive Knowledge
Archive Network
CKAN is our data hub software -
making it easy to get, use and
share data. It enables people to
contribute back derived datasets,
notes, changes and comments.

CKAN is central to our vision for
distributed, collaborative and
componentized 'development' of
data - analogous to the highly
successful development model in
open-source software.
CKAN - Rapid Growth

community data hubs around the world - with most of this activity in
last 18 months.
Other Projects

Energy.PublicData.eu - Track progress
towards EU renewables targets.


OpenDataCommons.org and the Open
Definition - suite of standards and legal tools
to make data open


Yourtopia.net - Global development beyond
GDP. A winner of World Bank Apps
competition.


PublicDomainWorks.net - find out which
works are in the public domain in a given
country.
Working Groups
A wide range of working groups in
different domains.


Bring together experts in order to:
  ● promote legal/technical openness
  ● map open resources
  ● encourage collaboration
  ● strengthen community

Looking
Forward

                      Collaborative
                    Componentized
