Open Information Policy

Advanced by the Internet, alternatives to long-standing intellectual property regimes have created an environment to re-assess the relationship between democracy, open society and new information technologies. The promise of open source technology with respect to civil society and the incalculable leaps in information production by means of open content and web logs present a new platform for civic participation. Whether and in what form such promises can be realized lies at the basis of the questions addressed in the projects below.
