Abstract: The communities of things (in this case, of knowledge) that are experiencing substantial qualitative and quantitative growth have similarities with the commons studied by Elinor Ostrom. Their distinctive features are largely due to the digital organization tools they use their object: knowledge. The aim here is to study the dynamism of these commons, specifying what the common resource they manage is, and how this management is organized. This will enable us to explain why they are indeed commons in E. Ostrom's sense, and which "community", as defined in this encyclopedia, manages a commons, who is part of it, and who participates in the project without being a member.
