#opendefinition — Public Fediverse posts

Neat, didn't know there was an Open Definition for data.

#OpenDefinition

[8/8] 🆕 Updating the #OpenDataCommons and revisiting the #OpenDefinition: They both form a strong digital commons helping advance #SDGs and will undergo a legal review to be updated and adapted to the current legislation and social norms.

Implementing and caring for open standards is the core of our work at @okfn – e.g. #opendefinition, #frictionlessdata, #opendatacommons etc. Now, in a key moment for democracies worldwide, we are turning our attention to electoral processes 🧵

We created the #OpenDefinition and can help you solve the technical, social and legal challenges of opening up data. If you need an #opendata strategy, just drop us an email 📧 https://okfn.org/our-services/tech-services/

It's starting in two hours! Come on in! #Wikimania #OpenDefinition #Wikidata #FrictionlessData

Debriefing the #OpenDefinition workshop with Latin American communities at #RightsCon

This time we sought a greater level of detail. "Machine readability" was the most discussed topic. Check out the full documentation 👉🏾

🧵

Here it is! It took us a few days to compile everything we heard at #RightsCon about the #OpenDefinition, and now we're reopening the process as it takes shape.

🤓 Spoiler alert: the "Machine Readable" article was the most discussed!

It's already many moons old, but I still like the elegance and simplicity of the #OpenDefinition:

“Open data and content can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose”

I only wonder if open data isn't a subset of open content. Perhaps there's some potential for a little more reduction.

⭐ Debriefing the #OpenDefinition workshop at #MozFest ⭐

One week ago at
the Mozilla Festival @moznews, we began the process of rethinking and updating the Open Definition for today’s challenges and contexts. This is what we heard and here are the main takeaways → https://blog.okfn.org/2023/03/30/debriefing-the-open-definition-workshop-at-mozfest/

Summary of the #OpenDefinition v2.1, full text here: https://opendefinition.org/od/2.1/en/

🤔 How could it be better, more diverse, and safer from the traps of new technologies?

Come discuss with us tomorrow at #MozFest at 13:45 CET (session in 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇧🇷). Register now: https://schedule.mozillafestival.org/session/JH39CT-1

~50 people have already bookmarked our #MozFest session. It will be great to (re)discuss the #OpenDefinition with so many people. Don't miss it!

Reminder: it will be a multilingual session in 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇧🇷

Why did we decide to rethink the #OpenDefinition in 2023? Learn directly from our CEO @avilarenata:

"Creating a bridge between old definitions and new discourses is important to keep the open ecosystem alive and current."

Only pre-2023 use of #OpenDefinition found in search on this instance (which presumably is far from exhaustive, but a data point) https://mastodon.social/@josemurilo@ecodigital.social/98833205381033781

The English Wikipedia article could probably use an update https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Definition

I should've noticed that OKF is here at @okfn and doing a session on rethinking the #OpenDefinition at MozFest https://mastodon.social/@okfn@fosstodon.org/110023683211173078

Will be interesting to see what comes of this revisiting of the #OpenDefinition https://blog.okfn.org/2023/03/16/updating-the-open-definition-to-meet-the-challenges-of-today/

It was (or became) a bit easier to interpret take on the Open Source Defintion, when @osi was not very interested in data (or perhaps the open data community didn't know about OSI, or was intimidated, or something) and there was lots of unclarity about what open data/content was and a proliferation of [sort of, or highly custom] open data/content licenses (this probably continues?)
