Open Knowledge Network: Summary of the Big Data IWG Workshop
Technology companies develop proprietary knowledge networks as key business technologies today. However, because these networks are proprietary and expensive to construct, government, academia, small businesses, and nonprofits do not have access to them. In contrast, an open knowledge network (OKN) would be available to all stakeholders, including the researchers who will help push this technology further. An OKN requires a nonproprietary, public–private development effort that spans the entire data science community and will result in an open, shared infrastructure.
