Openness is an overarching concept that is characterized by an emphasis on receptivity, access and collaboration. That is, openness refers to "open to one-another, accessibility of knowledge, technology and other resources; the transparency of action; the permeability of organisational structures; and the inclusiveness of participation". Openness can be said to be the opposite of closedness, central authority and secrecy.
