Open Digital Infrastructure

Open Digital Infrastructure represents the set of open-source code, standards and knowledge assets that digital building blocks like software libraries, compilers, communication or network protocols are composed of.

They are created by individuals, volunteer communities, in research institutions and SMEs or other corporate environments. Together, they form a foundation of free and public code that is designed to solve common challenges – firstly, in programming, but when applied, also to provide a multitude of core functions for society.

API ToS — Towards A Creative Commons Model

Research Question
How can a standardized API Terms of Service model improve interoperability and openness in digital infrastructure?

How we can build a “Creative Commons” for API terms of Service, as a contract to automatically read, control and enforce APIs Terms of service between infrastructure and applications?\n\nIn order to scale technical, business and legal interoperability between digital infrastructures, the API ToS-CC project aims to build a “Creative Commons” framework for API terms of Service, as a contract to automatically read, control and enforce APIs Terms of service between digital infrastructure and applications. The terms of service for APIs represent a boundary object whose identification of specific clauses and degree of \”openness\” (on the model of Creative Commons licenses with different degrees of conditions of use) can work towards a better understanding and vigilance.
