Description
Summary:Open knowledge (OK) is a movement that seeks the promotion of the so-called knowledge societies; Openknowledge can be understood as “all forms of knowledge created by individuals and institutions proactivelydisseminated in an accessible, interoperable and reusable format. This is knowledge that becomes a publicgood” (Moneo, 2015). Open knowledge has different manifestations, such as open science, open educationalresources, open source software, open data, business and open innovation and open access (Lara and Rossini, 2014, pp. 22- 44).In particular, Open Access can be considered as a collective construction that “generates direct benefitsfor society as it facilitates a direct transfer of knowledge to the economic and social environment and the barriers between rich and poor countries are also dissolved” (Abadal, 2012); it also goes beyond the free consultation of unpublished or published content. To achieve this, it is necessary to take action in various ways, in which everyone involved must participate actively in the support, production and distribution of works.
