Open Infrastructure
About
"Infrastructure" refers to the sets of services, protocols, standards and software that the academic ecosystem needs throughout the research lifecycle. Infrastructure is essential from the earliest phases of research, collaboration and experimentation through data collection and storage, data organization, data analysis and computation, authorship, submission, review and annotation, copyediting, publishing, archiving, citation, discovery, and more.
Open infrastructure is the narrower sets of services, protocols, standards and software that can empower communities to collectively build the systems that deliver new improved collective benefits without restrictions, and for a healthy global interrelated infrastructure system.
