[IRTalk] Fifty shades of open | Pomerantz | First Monday

[Hilton Gibson]

Open source. Open access. Open society. Open knowledge. Open government.

meaning. *The over-use of the word “open” has led to its meaning becoming
increasingly ambiguous.* This presents a critical problem for this
important word, as ambiguity leads to misinterpretation.
