Redirect to:

Free content

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From an alternative name: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.

From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-'''Open content''', a [[neologism]] coined by analogy with "[[open source]]", describes any kind of [[creative work]], or [[Content (media and publishing)|content]], published in a format that explicitly allows copying and modifying of its information by anyone, not exclusively by a closed organization, firm or individual. The largest open content project is [[Wikipedia]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abo.psychologie.uni-wuerzburg.de/virtualcollaboration/publications.php?action=view&id=44 |title=Voluntary Engagement in an Open Web-based Encyclopedia: Wikipedians, and Why They Do It |last=Schoer |first=Joachim |coauthors=Hertel, Guido |date=2007-12-03 |publisher[[University of Würzburg]] |format=PHP |accessdate=2007-03-17}}</ref>

+{{R from alternative name}}
+{{R from merge}}
-The [[Open Knowledge Foundation]] has undertaken work on a technical definition for open content. The Open Knowledge Definition (OKD) gives a set of conditions for openness in knowledge - much as the [[Open Source Definition]] does for [[open-source software]]. Content can be either in the [[public domain]] or under a [[license]] which allows re-distribution and re-use, such as [[Creative Commons]] Attribution and Attribution-Sharealike licenses or the [GNU Free Documentation License ] (GFDL). It is worth noting that the OKD covers open data as well as open content.

-==History==
-It is possible that the first documented case of open content was the [[Royal Society]], which aspired to share information across the globe as a public enterprise.{{Fact|date=April 2008}}  The term "open content" was first used in the modern context by [[David A. Wiley|David Wiley]], then a graduate student at [[Brigham Young University]], who founded the [[Open Content Project]] and put together the first content-specific (non-software) license in 1998, with input from [[Eric S. Raymond|Eric Raymond]], [[Tim O'Reilly]], and others.{{Fact|date=April 2008}}
-== Free content ==
-{{main|free content}}
-As with [[alternative terms for free software|the terms "open source" and "free software"]], some open content materials can also be described as "[[free content]]", although technically they describe different things. For example, the [[Open Directory Project]] is open content but is not free content. The main difference between licenses is the definition of ''freedom'': some licenses attempt to maximize the freedom of all potential recipients in the future (by having minor "restrictions") while others maximize the freedom of the initial recipient.
-===Common content===
-The related term "common content" is occasionally used to refer to [[Creative Commons]]–licensed works. This takes after<!-- ?? --> the [[Common Content]] project, which is an attempt to collect as many such works as possible.
-===Open access===
-"[[Open access (publishing)|Open access]]" refers to a special category of material, consisting of freely available published [[Peer review|peer-reviewed]] journal articles.
-==Open-content search engines==
-{{Expand-section|date=April 2008}}
-With the increased interest in open content, many universities have started offering online video/audio courses to the general public, such as [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] and [[Princeton University]]. This has resulted in a great increase in providers of open content. The difficulty of keeping track of all such content had led to the birth of open-content search engines.<ref name="ccsearch">{{cite web |url=http://search.creativecommons.org/ |accessdate=2008-08-09 |publisher=[[Creative Commons]] |title=Creative Commons meta-search engine}}</ref>
