•semantic properties
•legal ownership

The Ethical Context
“The field of knowledge is the common property of all mankind “
Thomas Jefferson 1807
Ethos of Science
“The substantive findings of science are a product of social collaboration and are assigned to the
community. They constitute a common heritage in which the equity of the individual producer is severely
limited…”
“The scientist’s claim to “his” intellectual “property” is limited to that of recognition and esteem which, if the institution
functions with a modicum of efficiency, is roughly commensurate with the significance of the increments
brought to the common fund of knowledge.”
Robert K. Merton, “A Note on Science and Democarcy,” Journal of Law and Political Sociology 1 (1942): 121.
The Library Tradition
For hundreds of years, libraries have been the “protected areas” of the knowledge commons.
The “public library” is a commons or zone of “fair use” that makes knowledge freely and equitably available to all.
Civic Responsibility
“Science Literacy” ?
“...the capacity to use scientific knowledge, to identify questions, and to draw
evidence-based conclusions in order to understand and help make
decisions about the natural world and the changes made to it through human
activity.”
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. (1999). Measuring Student Knowledge and Skills: A New Framework for Assessment. Paris: Author.
http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/45/32/33693997.pdf
“Compared with practical science literacy, the achievement of a functional level of civic science literacy is a more protracted endeavor. Yet, it is a job that sooner or later must be done, for as time goes on human events will become even more entwined in science, and science-related public issues in the future can only increase in number and in importance. Civic science literacy is a cornerstone of informed public policy.”
B. S. P. Shen, “Scientific Literacy and the Public Understanding of Science,” in Communication of Scientific Information, ed. S. Day (Basel: Karger, 1975), 44–52 Quoted in: Jon D. Miller, “The
measurement of civic scientific literacy.” Public Understand. Sci. 7 (1998) 203–223.
