Look up openness in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Openness is the quality of being open. It sometimes refers to a very general philosophical position from which some individuals and organizations operate, often highlighted by a decision-making process recognizing communal management by distributed stakeholders (users/producers/contributors) rather than a centralized authority (owners, experts, boards of directors, etc.)
Openness could be a synonym of :
- Open system : Openness to experience, wiki, direct democracy, open spirituality, respect for all other beings, etc. (fully open)
- Transparency : openness in a utilitarian view : economical openness, open economic or politic data, etc. (lower degree of openness)
