Open Knowledge Network
"...
OKN grew out of the
Digital Opportunity Task Force
(DOTForce) set up by the G8 Heads of State to make a decisive
contribution to bridging the digital divide. The
G8 Genoa Plan of Action
called for "national and international effort to support local
content and applications creation". As a result of this high
level commitment, the process of defining solutions began in
2000 through the DOTForce�s Local Content Working Group,
chaired by
OneWorld International
...
OKN was designed around the following seven principles, based
on extensive research into successful projects as well as
existing barriers to local content creation and exchange:
-
building on the experience of others
-
building capacity in communities to support knowledge sharing
-
working offline for free, but synchronizing with the Net
-
peer-to-peer networking of existing Knowledge Workers
-
standards for metadata using
XML
-
agreed open content copyright licenses
-
sustainable business models adapted to different contexts

common set of concerns, and a commmon set of traditions in
both etiquette and process
...
These separate communities are referred to as projects and
while similar in general issues they address each of them has
a different focus
...
The Network has been organized by the
Open Knowledge Foundation
and there is significant sharing of infrastructure and personnel
between the two
