Internet Archive
The Open Content Alliance (OCA) brings together cultural, technology, nonprofit, and governmental organizations from around the world to offer broad, public access to a rich panorama of world culture by building a permanent archive of multilingual digitized text and multimedia content. By creating a growing archive of digital materials, the OCA will serve the combined interests of its contributors and the global community of Internet users. Contributors will donate collections, services, facilities, tools and/or funding to the OCA. The OCA will be administered by the nonprofit Internet Archive and governed by representatives of contributing organizations.
The OCA launched in October 2005 and is currently in its initial phase of organization. This talk outlines OCA’s plans, activities, organization and structure.
