"the mutualization of productive knowledge"
The term "knowledge commons" refers to information, data, and content that is collectively owned and managed by a community of users, particularly over the Internet.
The knowledge commons is a model for a number of domains, including Open Educational Resources such as the MIT OpenCourseWare, free digital media such as Wikipedia,[4] Creative Commons βlicensed art, open-source research,[5] and open scientific collections such as the Public Library of Science or the Science Commons, free software and Open Design.[6][7]
Once again, the promise of a knowledge commons is best made evident in the disagreements and difficulties in determining who and how it should be managed
Knowledge commons is a misnomer bcos there is no such thing as knowledge. (!!)
What there IS/ARE is/are practices of knowing, communicating and organising.
So a ‘knowledge commons’ is a commons of literacy and (collective) labour power, thro which commoners are able to capably understand and organise their practical life as a commons, in a world of commons. It’s a cultural commons.

@strypey @icedquinn ahoy there! thank you for your interest :)
anagora.org is the reference instance for the Agora software/service I’ve been writing for the last two years. It is a distributed [[knowledge commons]]. In practice it works as an aggregator of notes and posts coming from different sources: digital gardens and the [[fediverse]] currently.
e.g. when you use a wikilink or hashtag near @agora, an Agora will link and optionally save your post :)

The Agora is an implementation of a [[knowledge commons]]. It lets communities agree on [[sources of truth]], and in ways to perform entity resolution and intent handling.
