#knowledgecommons — Public Fediverse posts

A question I cannot stop thinking about:

What would the internet look like if every piece of knowledge was:
— attributed to the people who created it
— stored somewhere no company can delete it
— owned fractionally by the community that built it

That is InsightNest. It is what we are building.

Built on the Logos ecosystem: Waku for discussion, Codex for storage, SIWE for identity.

#Commonplace is a new experiment in community resource curation.

It gives groups a shared place to gather links, readings, tools, and other references, then make those collections easier to browse and reuse across the open web.

The intro post talks through the concept, the current setup, and how it could work for communities you are part of.

Dear Open Access,
Thanks for making research open, shareable, and easy to fall in love with. 💌 You help scholars and communities everywhere discover and connect through knowledge.

We love supporting open research and helping humanities work reach the audiences it deserves.

One thing we love about Knowledge Commons is how it brings humanities scholars together to share open, accessible research across disciplines. Building community + supporting open knowledge = a win-win. 💗

Another great deposit in KCWorks from some folks at Punctum Books: Open or Proprietary? AI Scraping of OA Content Warrants a Collective Response

https://works.hcommons.org/records/6ftf4-5xg24

"How can these OA publishers have a better view of how their publications are used with regard to the terms of their licenses, primarily in relation to commercial reuse (even while recognizing that there could never have a complete view, and that's okay)? How can OA publishers better monitor usage by nonhuman readers (AI bots) and the corporations to which they are tethered? How can they strategize to better confront and negotiate the massive extraction of profit from the scholarly labor OA presses and their authors produce and transmit, now and in the future?"

Worth a read.

One of the things I love about working on Knowledge Commons is seeing some of the deposits we get to KCWorks, our open access repository.

This essay, "Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich?," is one of my favorites of the week. The description is "An essay discussing the nature of definitions, using hotdogs as an illustrative example" and I'll be honest, it was both entertaining and educational.

Check it out.
