Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN)

ckan

The Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network is a registry of open knowledge packages and projects (and a few closed ones). CKAN is the place to search for open knowledge resources as well as register your own.

Those familiar with freshmeat, CPAN or PyPI can think of CKAN as providing an analogous service for open knowledge.

The Open Definition Site

opendefinition.org

The Open Definition site maintains a set of definitions of 'openness' - for content, for data, and for services.

The Open Knowledge Definition (OKD) sets out principles to define the 'open' in open knowledge. The term knowledge is used broadly and it includes all forms of data, content such as music, films or books as well any other type of information.

Open Shakespeare

openshakespeare

Open Shakespeare aims to provide the complete works of Shakespeare, along with textual apparatus (introduction, notes) and tools (concordance, search, annotation, word frequency, etc.) all in an open form.

This material is delivered in an open knowledge 'package' that allows for easy deployment, redistribution and reuse.
