We are an global network working for since 2004 to

open up data and see it used to empower citizens and

organizations to answer questions that matter and

drive positive change

http://opendefinition.org/

Open Knowledge is what Open Data & Content

become when they are made useful - accessible,

understandable, meaningful, with the capacity to

help someone to solve a real problem.

What is Open Knowledge?

Why Open Knowledge?

Open Knowledge is empowering -

it enables us to understand and change

our world and our lives

The Open Knowledge culture of

collaboration, community and sharing

is a better and more fulfilling

way to learn, create and improve things

Create tools, skills and
