He is a Shuttleworth Foundation alumnus,[1][2][3], an Ashoka Fellow[4], an Associate of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law at the University of Cambridge[3] and President of Open Knowledge International[3] which he founded (as the Open Knowledge Foundation) in 2004 and served as a board director until 2013. He continues to act as Board Secretary.[3] In addition to his academic work, whilst at Open Knowledge International he initiated a wide variety of projects, many of which continue to be active today. For example, in 2005 he created The Open Definition which provided the first formal definition of open content and open data, and which has remained the standard reference definition. In 2005–2006 he created the first version of CKAN, open source software for finding and sharing datasets, especially open datasets. CKAN has continued to evolve and today is the leading open data platform software in the world used by governments including the US and UK to publish millions of public datasets. WorkOn 24 May 2004 Pollock founded in Cambridge, UK the Open Knowledge Foundation[5][6] as a global non-profit network that promotes and shares open knowledge including open data and open content - information that is openly and freely available.[7] In 2007 and 2009, Pollock published two important papers regarding the optimal copyright term, where he proposed based on an economical model with empirically-estimable parameters an optimal duration of only 15 years, significantly shorter than any currently existing copyright term.[8][9] He has held the Mead Research Fellowship in economics at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.[10] In 2009, he was credited by web inventor Tim Berners-Lee for starting the Raw Data Now meme.[11] In 2010 he was appointed as one of the four founding members of the UK Government's Public Sector Transparency Board.[12][13] Bibliography

Using a parsimonious theoretical model this paper contributes several new results of relevance to this debate. In particular we demonstrate that (a) optimal copyright is likely to fall as the production costs of 'originals' decline (for example as a result of digitization) (b) technological change which reduces costs of production may imply a decrease or a decrease in optimal levels of protection (this contrasts with a large number of commentators, particularly in the copyright industries, who have argued that such change necessitates increases in protection) (c) the optimal level of copyright will, in general, fall over time as the stock of work increases. }} 9. ^{{cite web |archivedate=12 January 2013 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130112152530/http://rufuspollock.org/economics/papers/optimal_copyright_term.pdf |url=http://rufuspollock.org/economics/papers/optimal_copyright_term.pdf |format=PDF |title=Forever minus a day? Calculating optimal copyright term |author=Rufus Pollock |publisher=University of Cambridge |date=15 June 2009 |accessdate=11 January 2015 |quote=The optimal term of copyright has been a matter for extensive debate over the last decade. Based on a novel approach we derive an explicit formula which characterises the optimal term as a function of a few key and, most importantly, empirically-estimable parameters. Using existing data on recordings and books we obtain a point estimate of around 15 years for optimal copyright term with a 99% confidence interval extending up to 38 years. This is substantially shorter than any current copyright term and implies that existing terms are too long.}} 10. ^{{cite web |title=Mr Rufus Pollock |url=http://www.emma.cam.ac.uk/teaching/fellows/display/?fellow=254 |publisher=University of Cambridge |accessdate=4 December 2010 |archivedate=8 July 2013 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130708192030/http://www.emma.cam.ac.uk/teaching/fellows/display/?fellow=254 }} 11. ^{{cite web |title=Credits for Linked Data talk at TED, 2009 |url=http://www.w3.org/2009/Talks/0204-ted-tbl/#(34) |author=Tim Berners-Lee |publisher=World Wide Web Consortium |accessdate=8 February 2012 }} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://rufuspollock.org/about/ |title=About |publisher=Rufus Pollock |date=15 October 2013 |accessdate=21 February 2015 }} 13. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/134#members-of-the-public-sector-transparency-board |title=Public Sector Transparency Board |publisher=GOV.UK |accessdate=21 February 2015 }} 14. ^{{cite web|url=https://openlibra.com/en/book/the-open-revolution-rewriting-the-rules-of-the-information-age|title=The Open Revolution: Rewriting the rules of the information age}} External links{{Sister project links|b=no |commons=Rufus Pollock|d=no |m=no |mw=no |n=no |q=Open source |s=no |species=no |species_author=no |v=no |wikt=no }}
