## Broad Overview

Over the next two years, we want to further develop Open Knowledge Maps into a collaborative, all-encompassing open discovery system. This includes **further broadening our coverage of content sources.** We are looking to connect to the BASE search engine, which covers more than 100 million publications, 60% of which are open access. We will also include non-publication resources from archives such as zenodo using an innovative data fusion model. We also want to **improve topic detection and similarity analysis**, by integrating relevant context information such as ontologies.
Over the next two years, we want to further develop Open Knowledge Maps into a collaborative, all-encompassing open discovery system. This includes **further broadening our coverage of content sources** to provide overviews for all areas of research. We are looking to connect to the BASE search engine, which covers more than 100 million publications. We will also **include non-publication resources** from archives such as Zenodo to provide an overview of datasets, which are important for research and evidence-based practice alike.

We are going to **extend the map visualizations** to include additional links between papers, for example citations and facts extracted from open content. We will also **add integration with existing tools in the open digital ecosystem**, including the Open Science Framework, Zotero, and ORCID, so that Open Knowledge Maps will fit seamlessly into researchers' current workflows. We will also **provide an API** of our own for other services to use. A strong focus will be on **developing the collaborative features**. On the front end, we will enable an edit mode that allows researchers to manually add content to the map, modify or add metadata to content, like tags, and create new clusters. The editing history will be preserved in a Wikipedia-like model to allow collaborative building of knowledge maps. For an overview of the collaborative editing functionality, please see this video.

We also want to grow as a community and as an organization. We will have already established an advisory board, and in the coming year we also want to **establish a community of enthusiasts** to guide the development of Open Knowledge Maps in a human-centered design process. Another concrete action is to **bootstrap mapping parties** (similar to those in the Open Street Maps project), where people get together to jointly map an underrepresented research field, for example a neglected disease.
