With a view to proposing public policy responses to this, the Wikimedia Foundation and the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) are working on a joint initiative to rethink open knowledge as critical digital infrastructure (CDI). Our goal is to ensure that digital knowledge commons — the shared, publicly accessible systems that allow information to be freely and openly created and distributed — receive the same strategic attention and investment, and benefit from strong governance, as essential public services such as water or electricity.
