In order to achieve a better understanding of the research topic, it is necessary to expand on some concepts that have been recurrently mentioned throughout this article. First, an approach to the definition of open knowledge will be provided; it should be noted that, although there is no widely accepted proposition, elements have been taken from various essential theoretical alternatives to the term. Furthermore, as a preamble to the use of wikis as collaborative platforms, it is also pertinent to develop what open licenses and public domain statements are and how they are used in sharing open knowledge. Subsequently, in a generalized way, the importance that open knowledge and wikis provide in the promotion of Sustainable Development will be explored, this will give a guideline to present Appropedia as the only wiki that provides documentation on sustainability issues.
