This dictionary is to become a part of a global communications solution with systematized content commons that provide context for the use of open data and the monitoring and follow-up of development initiatives.

These content commons are a necessary enabler for the inclusive knowledge conversions and the implied social values envisioned by the Addis Ababa Action Agenda - III. Data, monitoring and follow-up, for instance as enabled by Convention on Knowledge Commons.

Low hurdle access to content commons and open data will facilitate sustainable development communications and enhance our capacities of collaborative diagnostics and collaborative therapeutics to yield mutual trust among, and sustainable development for all development stakeholders.

Knoema provides a World "open" data atlas that will allow us to make the discourse data-driven1.

There is a tutorial about the use of wikis by various knowledge workers at atria.us.

Specific background and embedding information for this wiki is provided at http://wikiworx.info/kc:indicator-dictionary

Enjoy your journey in a global partnership!
