The Open Knowledge Foundation is a small to mid-sized nonprofit based in London, England, working in the civic and social sector. It pursues a fair, sustainable, open digital future by treating open knowledge as a design principle beyond data. The organization supports this aim by guiding the creation of digital infrastructure, developing policies and methodologies, engaging communities, and promoting literacies and standards in a sustainable, ethical, and agile way. Its work targets public bodies, civil society groups, and other organizations seeking to advance open data, governance, and digital literacy, helping them build open, interoperable digital ecosystems. A recent development in 2026 involves a collaboration to test a conversational interface that translates everyday questions into precise queries against CKAN, the open-source platform used for many public-data repositories.
