00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
You're surfing a topic of great interest to you on Wikipedia--
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
So interesting that you actually click through to the references.
3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
You're excited to read the original material.
4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
But all of the sudden, you're foiled:
5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
You've hit a paywall.
6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
What if there were icons next to the reference
7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Signaling whether a person may read or reuse the work cited?
8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
This would be like a restaurant menu
9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Where there are icons that indicate things like "spicy" or "vegetarian".
10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
If this source is Open Access, we can reuse the source text
11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Media, and metadata on Wikimedia projects.
12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Readers and editors can deeplink into article sections,
13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Reuse images, and track the use of citations.
14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
WikiProject Open Access has developed the infrastructure to make this happen.
15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Collaborating with the community, we can engage the literature on Wikisource,
16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata.
17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Wikipedia readers and editors can connect and leverage this citation infrastructure.
18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
On an article such as "Malaria",
19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Readers can access rich content made available to them like this,
20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
When editors choose to use the Open Access Signalling Tool Suite.
21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Wikipedia is the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Open Access extends that freedom to the source material itself. And beyond.
