The Open Encyclopedia System (OES) is a modular, configurable software for creating and maintaining scholarly online encyclopedias, particularly in the humanities and social sciences. It was developed at Freie Universität Berlin with funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) and was first published on GitHub in 2020. Since then, OES has been continuously developed further in the context of various projects and collaborations. Here you can read more about the origins of OES.
The goal: Researchers, editors, and institutions should have a tool with which they can digitally publish citable, quality-assured content and make it accessible in the long term—independently of commercial providers.
