En el wiki se catalogan, conservan y documentan proyectos que buscan incentivar la participación de los públicos en la producción y distribución de bienes y servicios que antes estaban restringidos sobre todo a especialistas y profesionales. Combinando los medios de información y comunicación masivos con prácticas sociales heterogéneas cuestionan la gestión vertical y centralizada del acceso por parte de las instituciones públicas y privadas históricamente asociadas con estos dominios como los museos, las galerías, las bibliotecas, las editoriales, los laboratorios, las universidades, la prensa, las empresas, los bancos, los hospitales, los transportes, los gobiernos, los partidos, los sindicatos, las fábricas, etc.

Las iniciativas que ensayan modelos de gestión más horizontales y descentralizados aparecen en Internet asociadas a un tropel de categorías de reciente aparición como: el acceso abierto, los datos abiertos, los contenidos abiertos, la educación abierta, el gobierno abierto, el diseño abierto, el open source hardware, el espectro abierto, la ciencia abierta, las criptomonedas, el periodismo ciudadano, la ciencia ciudadana, la economía colaborativa, el crowdfunding, el crowdsourcing, el software libre, la cultura libre, el p2p… Estas categorías de nuevo cuño conviven con otras de más larga data que han adquirido una fuerza renovada en estos días como el procomún, el dominio público, los bancos de tiempo, la economía solidaria, la criptografía, las cooperativas, el DIY o la piratería. El conjunto de estas categorías configura el vocabulario de las modalidades de acceso del presente que apuestan por la participación de los públicos en todos los dominios de interacción social.

Una parte de este vocabulario está recogido en la sección '''Acceso''' del wiki ya que se utiliza como criterio de catalogación de las iniciativas registradas. Al vocabulario del presente se añaden otros criterios de catalogación como los '''Dominios''' en los que se enmarca el proyecto. Los otros criterios de catalogación son: el '''Año de inicio''' y el '''Año de finalización''', los '''Idioma(s)''' que utilizan, el '''País(es) de inicio''' donde surgió por primera vez y si se trata de un proyecto público o privado, lucrativo o no lucrativo.

Projects are catalogued according to the categories and subcategories associated with the three main sections in which the wiki is divided. In Domains, the projects are indexed according to their main ascription to one or several Domains: Art, Science, Culture, Economics, Politics and Technology. In Publics, projects are labeled based on their linguistic, geographical and temporal universe. We catalog all the Language(s) in which each project is published, the Start Country(ies), the Start Year and the Year of Completion. In Access, the projects are classified according to the vocabulary of current forms of access. As this vocabulary appears and is popularized mainly in English, the main menu categories are in this language: Citizen, Collaborative, Commons, Co-ops, Crowd, Crypto, DIY, Free, Future, Grassroots, Open, P2P, Pirate, Private, Public, Tactical. The translation is found in the subcategories that also expand the forms of access linked with each category in English and Spanish.

To show how the vocabulary of current forms of access is diversified with use, the wiki allows participants to add new categories and subcategories following the terms that the projects apply to define themselves. When the terms are not shown explicitly or appear under a slightly different version, the categories and subcategories already indexed are assigned according to the criteria of the participant. Only the subcategories No lucrativo/ Nonprofit (Private), Lucrativo/Profit (Private) and Estado/State (Public) are part of the cataloguing of all projects. In that way the public initiatives of governments are distinguished from all others and the business model and legal status of the project are indicated when they are clearly published. These cataloguing criteria also apply to projects that lack legal form or do not clearly state what their legal status is.

El objetivo es conservar y documentar la memoria de estas iniciativas que aparecen y desaparecen día a día en diferentes países aprovechando las herramientas disponibles en línea. Como se trata de iniciativas recientes todas cuentan (o contaban) con un sitio web que se archiva en Wayback Machine (archive.org/web), el servicio gratuito que ofrece Internet Archive (archive.org) para conservar páginas web. La documentación acerca de las modalidades de acceso está organizada en secciones. Las '''Entrevistas''' siguen un cuestionario de los años setenta que se aplica a todos los responsables de iniciativas que deseen participar aportando su testimonio. Los '''Manifiestos''' exponen todo tipo de posturas acerca de las modalidades de acceso y los dominios. La '''Biblioteca''' se compone de obras que tratan acerca de estas cuestiones y que se pueden descargar legalmente. Los textos se pueden navegar por título, '''Autoras''' o '''Editoriales'''. Para complementar la documentación se van a realizar unos encuentros en Ciudad de México que se publicarán en las '''Actividades''' y donde se invitará a iniciativas surgidas en este país donde se ha puesto en marcha el wiki.

La razón de conservar y documentar las iniciativas responde al hecho de que los límites del acceso a los dominios del arte, la ciencia, la cultura, la economía, la política y la tecnología nunca han sido estables y seguirán cambiando en el futuro. A fin de ofrece un panorama lo más amplio posible de las diferentes modalidades de acceso que van surgiendo hoy para futuras generaciones se incluyen todo tipo de proyectos no solo heterogéneos sino incluso antagónicos, situados a izquierda y derecha del espectro político y económico.

Existen en la web muchos sitios dedicados a catalogar proyectos específicos como, por ejemplo, el catálogo de iniciativas p2p de la p2pfoundation.net o el directorio por países y servicios de consumocolaborativo.com, pero ninguno dedicado a reunir las diferentes formas de acceso que conviven en el presente en un mismo lugar. El wiki está pensado para cubrir ese vacío ofreciendo una mirada incluyente de formas de acceso e iniciativas heterogéneas sin tomar partido por ninguna. Se trata de ofrece una herramienta de divulgación a través de la cual el lector pueda hacerse una idea de las posibilidades disponibles, y juzgar por sí mismo los riesgos y las oportunidades que cada forma de acceso y cada iniciativa pone en juego.

Comenzar esta colección ha supuesto un gran esfuerzo a cuatro manos pero catalogar, conservar y documentar las diferentes formas de acceso que proponen una cantidad enorme de iniciativas en todos los países requiere de mucha ayuda. Por eso se han priorizado hasta ahora las iniciativas surgidas en México. Pero con el formato wiki cualquiera que desee colaborar sumando los proyectos que conoce es bienvenido. La colaboración puede consistir en catalogar un nuevo proyecto, corregir o ampliar una entrada sobre un proyecto ya registrado, proponer iniciativas para que sean catalogadas, subir bibliografía, realizar entrevistas y publicarlas, incluir más manifiestos, enviarnos sugerencias y criticas para que podamos mejorar, etc. Solo a través de la colaboración mutua la colección puede dar cuenta de la enorme cantidad y variedad de propuestas que pugnan por ampliar el acceso.

Collecting

Domains, publics and access is an ongoing research project in media archaeology of the present been developed in Mexico by the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana and the Alumnos47 Foundation since 2015. The core of the research is a wiki where we collect projects that offer access for the general public to the domains of art, culture, science, economics, politics and technology.

The Collection is dedicated to cataloguing, preserving and documenting projects that propose or investigate general access to the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services previously restricted mainly to specialists and professionals. Combining the mass media with heterogeneous social practices the projects question the vertical and centralized management of access by public and private institutions historically associated with art, science, culture, economics, politics and technology such as museums, galleries, libraries, archives, publishers, laboratories, universities, companies, banks, hospitals, governments, political parties, factories, etc.

Projects that experiment with more horizontal and decentralized management models appear on the web associated with recent terms such as open access, open data, open content, open education, open government, open design, open spectrum, open science, cryptocurrencies, citizen journalism, citizen science, collaborative economy, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, free software, free culture, p2p, tactical urbanism ... These new terms coexist with old terms such as commons, public domain, time banks, grassroots media, solidarity economy, community currencies, cryptography, cooperatives, tactical media, DIY or piracy. All of them constitute the vocabulary of current forms of access, keywords of a vanishing present.

The Collection brings together projects that have emerged in different countries from the second half of the 20th century to the present day, with special attention to those developed in Mexico where the research began. The only condition is that the projects should be associated with the vocabulary of current forms of access counting on the participation of the general public in all domains of social activity. The collection includes, equally, projects launched by public and private institutions and different actors of civil society, since the questioning of the vertical and centralized management of access by institutions historically associated with the various domains is taking place inside and outside of them. In this way the Collection deals with the contemporary coexistence and hybridization between new and old models of access management that present different degrees of centralization and decentralization, verticality and horizontality.

Cataloguing

Projects are catalogued according to the categories and subcategories associated with the three main sections in which the wiki is divided. In Domains, the projects are indexed according to their main ascription to one or several Domains: Art, Science, Culture, Economics, Politics and Technology. In Publics, projects are labeled based on their linguistic, geographical and temporal universe. We catalog all the Language(s) in which each project is published, the Start Country(ies), the Start Year and the Year of Completion. In Access, the projects are classified according to the vocabulary of current forms of access. As this vocabulary appears and is popularized mainly in English, the main menu categories are in this language: Citizen, Collaborative, Commons, Co-ops, Crowd, Crypto, DIY, Free, Future, Grassroots, Open, P2P, Pirate, Private, Public, Tactical. The translation is found in the subcategories that also expand the forms of access linked with each category in English and Spanish.

To show how the vocabulary of current forms of access is diversified with use, the wiki allows participants to add new categories and subcategories following the terms that the projects apply to define themselves. When the terms are not shown explicitly or appear under a slightly different version, the categories and subcategories already indexed are assigned according to the criteria of the participant. Only the subcategories No lucrativo/ Nonprofit (Private), Lucrativo/Profit (Private) and Estado/State (Public) are part of the cataloguing of all projects. In that way the public initiatives of governments are distinguished from all others and the business model and legal status of the project are indicated when they are clearly published. These cataloguing criteria also apply to projects that lack legal form or do not clearly state what their legal status is.

All the necessary information for the cataloguing is extracted from the project websites. Even the main sources for new projects are the links that they establish with other initiatives. Only in exceptional cases are secondary sources of information used to complete the cataloguing. The Collection does not pretend to be exhaustive. The selection is personal and depends on the online tours done by each participant as they register different projects in the wiki.
