Accessibility guide for creating OER
OME Project — open-metadata-exchange documentation
OME enables open educational resources to create, publish, and update their metadata on a peer-to-peer network. By solving authoring, publishing, and discovery issues, this network will provide broad visibility to current islands of OER information.
Reinventing Commons Governance in Modern Times | David Bollier
I gave the following remarks about commons governance on September 27 as part of the U!REKA Lab Lecture Series. U!REKA -- which stands for Urban Research and Education Knowledge Alliance -- is a consortium of eight European universities that studies urban commons. The subtitle of my talk was "Find Answers by Living the Questions."
New to the Commons? | David Bollier
If you’re coming to the commons for the first time, it can be difficult to grok the idea because there are so many different ways to understand the commons. That’s because the commons is not so much a fixed, universal thing as a general concept describing durable, dynamic sets of social relationships for managing resources -- all sorts of resources: digital, urban, natural, indigenous, rural, cultural, scientific, to use some crude categories.

Commons
The commons are the cultural and natural resources accessible to all members of a society, including natural materials such as air, water, and a habitable Earth. These resources are held in common even when owned privately or publicly. Commons can also be understood as natural resources that groups of people manage for individual and collective benefit. Characteristically, this involves a variety of informal norms and values employed for a governance mechanism. Commons can also be defined as a social practice of governing a resource not by state or market but by a community of users that self-governs the resource through institutions that it creates.

Introducing the Open Exchange Architecture
Scientific communication still privileges narrative over utility, while the data, code, protocols, and computation that underpin modern research are pushed into hard-to-access supplements. Rowan Cockett introduces the Open Exchange Architecture (OXA), an emerging, community-driven standard designed to unbundle research from its paper-shaped container and expose the rich evidence underneath it.
