The Annual Open Knowledge Conference (OKCon) is a wide-ranging
conference that brings together individuals and organizations from
across the open knowledge spectrum for two days of presentations,
workshops and exchange of ideas.
Open knowledge promises significant social and economic benefits in a
wide range of areas from governance to science, culture to technology.
Opening up access to content and data can radically increase access
and reuse, bridge gaps, improve transparency and thus foster
innovation and increase societal welfare.
This is a time of great change. In addition to high profile
initiatives such as Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap and the Human Genome
Project, there is enormous growth among open knowledge projects and
communities at all levels and in many countries. Moreover, in the last
year, many governments across the world have begun opening up their
data.
And it doesn’t stop there. In academia, open access to both
publications and data has been gathering momentum, and similar calls
to open up learning materials have been heard in education.
Furthermore this gathering flood of open data plus content is the
creator and driver of massive technological change. How can we make
this data available, how can we connect it together, how can we use it
to collaborate and share our work? We will explore these issues, and
more, at OKCon.
