1 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.
