The open movement is diverse in geography, language and subject, it includes open source software, open knowledge, open access publishing, open data, open hardware, open science, open rights and government policies promoting openness. This variety makes it difficult for open organisations to work together and for others to understand the movement.
We can help solve these issues by mapping the open movement on Wikidata, a freely editable open source database and sister site to Wikipedia. Having the data hosted on Wikidata will make it more useful, allow it to be combined with data from other sources, queried, visualised and reused. It will also provide a rich resource to write and improve Wikipedia articles on open projects, people, organisations and communities.
- 1 minute: Promote the project on Twitter
- 2 minutes: Fill out our form with information on a single topic (e.g person, organisation, project) or a list or database (we will add the data to Wikidata later, submissions listed here).
- 10 minutes: Add a database or list to Wikidata Dataset Imports so others can import it +3 minutes for every dataset added.
- 20 minutes: Learn how to add data to Wikidata yourself, +5 minutes for every subject page added to Wikidata.
