The Digital Commons

The Digital Commons refers to the shared online space where people can access, contribute to, and collaborate on various types of knowledge and resources. This includes open-access publications, educational materials, cultural works, and software, allowing for widespread sharing and innovation. By breaking down traditional barriers, the Digital Commons promotes collaboration and democratizes knowledge, making information available to everyone. It emphasizes the idea that knowledge should be a collective resource, benefitting society as a whole rather than being restricted to individuals or private entities.
