The Open Knowledge Foundation exists to promote open knowledge in all ways possible. Central to this is our role as an open and participatory community as well as our position as a hub and partner for existing open knowledge networks. Beyond this we work specifically to:
Promote the idea of open knowledge, both what it is, and why is it a good idea.
- Act at the national and international level on open knowledge issues.
Run 'Open Knowledge' events, for example the Open Knowledge Forums and OKCON.
Develop tools that help us and help others develop open knowledge, such as KForge and the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network.
Provide infrastructure, and potentially a home, for open knowledge projects, communities and resources. See, for example, the KnowledgeForge service.
