| | Open content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The words "open content" were first put together in this context by David Wiley, then a graduate student at Brigham Young University, who founded the OpenContent project and put together the first content-specific (non-software) license in 1998 with input from Eric Raymond, Tim O'Reilly, and others. | | | Much of the ideals of the open source movement was led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). | | | The list of open content projects are partly based on The Institutional Design of Open Source Programming on Firstmonday |

| | Open-source content management systems |
| | For a content management system, this is a key weakness, as the software will often be used by staff throughout an organisation. | | | Open-source content management systems are typically developed using open tools, such as PHP, Perl, Python, Java and Unix. | | | The combination of open platforms and simplicity of customisation makes integrating open-source content management systems with other software considerably easier. |

| | Open Content Definition Global Scan on Open (Collaborative) Content Projects |
| | The term was coined by David Wiley in 1998 to establish a link between the practice of Open Source, established in the field of software, and the production of other types of digital content (text, sound, still and moving images, and interactive works). | | | For the purpose of this project, we apply the second, more focused definition of "open content". | | | Because of the focus on cultural material we do not include FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) projects. |

| | Open Content Licenses |
| | The Open Source movement has crystallised a number of ideas about the public availability of source code that have been practised both formally and informally for a number of years [1]. | | | There seems to be little attempt as yet to apply Open Content principles to these, although some areas of this (in particular, computer patents) would seem to be worthy of attention. | | | This has just changed to an Open Content project, which is just as much fun, and avoids the hassles of dealing with regular publication systems which tend to make it hard for authors. |

| | Open content and value creation |
| | Participating in a open source project could, for example, help you with a future career (economic motivation on the micro level) or you could be very convinced that the software should be free for everyone to use (socio-political motivation on the macro level). | | | The open content phenomenon can to some extent be compared to the phenomenon of open source. | | | In the open content cases considered in this paper, value chains are not easily described by a single scenario path. |

| | Why use open textbooks - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks |
| | Students might enjoy learning from an open textbook over a dead-tree, closed book because contributors are also their peers (or even themselves). | | | Automatically, all previous revisions of what you've written are saved and all you need to edit a page is a web-browser; meaning you can work on the textbook from anywhere, even in the labs as you help a student. | | | A mature open textbook is also promising for course work because it's much cheaper for students to have and read. |

| | GNU General Public License (GPL)--is beginning to stir for precisely the same reasons that launched the Free Software movement in the 1980s: the realization that a for-profit industry was about to lock up indispensable public knowledge and, in so doing, pose a grave threat to the advancement of knowledge and human welfare. | | | Many scientific journals make their articles accessible to the public after six months, and evidence suggests they do not lose money by doing so; subscribers are willing to pay for the latest information, even if older articles are available for free. | | | OpenContent.org is developing open content licenses for written work. |
