Version 2.0 of the Open
Definition has been announced.
The Open Definition seeks to define the meaning of "open" in the context of
data, content, and more. "However, these benefits are at significant
risk both from quality problems such as 'open-washing' (non-open data being
passed off as open) and from fragmentation of the open data ecosystem due
to incompatibility between the growing number of 'open' licenses. The Open
Definition eliminates these risks and ensures we realize the full benefits
of open by guaranteeing quality and preventing incompatibility.
