      In this issue:

Members of the Eldis team, and some of our partners, will be at the Open 
Development Camp in Amsterdam today to launch the Open Knowledge Hub 
(OKhub.org).

The hub is a collaborative “Open Data” platform for sharing digital 
content about development that aims to improve the supply and 
accessibility of content that supports evidence-informed policy making 
and practice by development actors. A key aspect of the hub’s design is 
to raise the profile of diverse perspectives on development, paying 
particular attention to research content from developing countries.
OKhub full width
Here at Eldis we contribute our open content to the hub so that it can 
be easily repackaged and re-used by others to present credible and 
relevant content on their own websites and tailor it to their own 
audiences and contexts. We also use the Hub ourselves as a way to source 
new, relevant, high quality research content for our own Resource Guides 
and other services.

Hub data go to the website

In this video <http://lyris.ids.ac.uk/t/2791857/198490/6282/0/>, filmed 
at the Open Knowledge Hub Eldis partner meeting earlier this year, 
members of the IDS team and partners discuss the project and it’s likely 
benefits for those using and contributing to the Open Knowledge Hub.

If you would be interested in contributing your content to Eldis and 
OKhub.org contact us here... 
<http://lyris.ids.ac.uk/t/2791857/198490/6280/0/>

The Hub launch takes place on Friday 10 October at the Open Development 
Camp 2014. As part of the launch we will be hosting a panel discussion 
asking participants to focus on the present realities of open content in 
the field of international Development. This event will be webcast and 
available through the Open Development Camp 
<http://lyris.ids.ac.uk/t/2791857/198490/6281/0/> website.

The Oriel Open Knowledge Hub project is an output of the Global Open 
Knowledge Hub (GOKH) project, an IDS programme funded by DFID from April 
2013 to April 2016.
