BLISS - Digital Impact Lab Seminar: 

What is a digital knowledge commons? An attempt at definition and research perspectives.
with Nicolas Julien

The collective management of a resource by some, which allows it to be preserved for all, has been associated with the notion of "commons", as studied by Elinor Ostrom. The digital world would have allowed the emergence of new commons: of "knowledge" (Hess, Ostrom, 2007), "of innovation" (Potts, 2018), "digital" (Greco, Floridi, 2004), without the distinctions appearing clearly. The risk of such a broad (or vague) definition is that any decentralized online platform where participants have a shared purpose is called a "commons" (Mindel et al., 2018).
It is easy to grasp the heuristic risk of such a definitional dilution of the concept. By looking at the functioning of several knowledge production collectives, the presentation aims to propose an analytical distinction of the different organizations and resources produced, which will allow us, /in fine/, to stabilize a clear definition of what a "digital knowledge commons" is, and to study in what the digitization has changed the way commons may be managed.
