Open Web

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Open Web movement asserts a special role for public, cooperative, and standard World Wide Web communications; it opposes private, exclusive, proprietary Web solutions.

Computer scientist Tantek Çelik[1] gives three aspects of the Open Web:

  1. publish content and applications on the web in open standards
  2. code and implement the web standards that content/apps depend on
  3. access and use content / code / web-apps / implementations
  • The Open Web standard is the Open Web Platform
  • The Mozilla Foundation is a prominent advocate of the Open Web.
  • Open Source facilitates the Open Web, and benefits from it.
  • Open access (publishing) shares a similar philosophy to the Open Web, focused on scholarly articles.
  • Creative Commons develops legal concepts related to the Open Web.
