This video provides an overview of the history of digital knowledge commons, as well as some of the challenges facing today's digital knowledge commons and academic social networking sites. These challenges include the enclosure or commercialization of commons; the exploitation of researchers and research data; and the exclusion of certain people from digital spaces. It concludes with a brief discussion of how not-for-profit digital knowledge commons such as the Canadian Humanities and Social Sciences Commons are working to address these challenges.
