Digital Common

A digital commons is an shared digital space where people freely access, use, and contribute to resources like information, software, or creative works. Think of it as an online community or library that promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing, and collective stewardship. Examples include open-source software projects, Wikipedia, and digital public domain collections. It operates on principles of openness and mutual benefit, allowing individuals to build upon each other's work without traditional restrictions, fostering innovation and inclusive participation while maintaining a sustainable ecosystem for digital resources.
