The icon part is a bit hit or miss, it still requires a bit more work. At present there is a draft document, demonstrating the Data Privacy collection extract.A while back I tried to create a script that added appimage files to the menu – it kinda of worked, but I recently reworked it and it seems to work 100% of the times – the adding the appimage to the menu part. Over time we aim to collect relevant and complete categories of entries in a convenient repository for bulk download.

A repository of Open Risk Manual PDFBooks NB: This functionality is still under development.

The structure of the PDF file is a Table of Contents, followed by all entries (in alphabetical order). The first example bundles entries around Data Privacy:īy clicking on Download this selection of articles as a PDF book (while online obviously :-), one gets an automatically generated PDF of this category.

In addition with a full replication programme as per above, we aim to produce PdfBooks for select topics. Given that the Open Risk Manual runs on Mediawiki there is extension that serves precisely that purpose PdfBook Extension. One approach is to compile content into a PDF file (Portable Data Format) in an e-book format. What about offline use of subsets of a given knowledge base? A light-weight replication of selected content can also be valuable for some use cases. Except that there is no internet.Ī full offline replication is a long term objective for the Open Risk Manual Selective Replication For the end user it feels pretty much like a regular browser as the experience is almost identical to browsing the source website(s). The corresponding Kiwix reader runs on almost any device (mobile phones, computers, etc.). This approach copies text, images, videos (but highly compressed) so that they are easy to share and distribute, for instance on a USB drive or microSD card, or broadcast on inexpensive hotspots.

The Kiwix software compresses any website into content packages which they term zim files. One of the more important such projects is Kiwix. There are various efforts pursuing this task through full replication of the original. Offline approaches to knowledge basesĪfter decades of crowdsourced knowledge base compilation in enormously popular projects like Wikipedia, the Gutenberg project or Stack Exchange the question of off-line availability becomes quite relevant. In this post we explore some options that are relevant for Open Risk projects and some first steps in this direction.

This gap motivates looking into how digitally encoded knowledge and digital processing tools that make sense in an online context survive offline.

Cost: many people with low or no income simply cannot afford to pay for data.

Lack of Infrastructure: in many areas internet is often slow, unreliable, or not available at all.

It is estimated that half of the world - four billion people – can not reliably use the Internet. While the number of people, the fraction of time and the type of activities they engage on has rapidly expanded as digital technology increasingly diffuses, the online state is certainly not the default state and in many regions or population segment might be completely out of reach.

Similarly, people may be “offline” as not having network access or completely unplugged, as in not having access or using any electronic device. For example the type online access varies enormously according to the bandwidth and latency of connections. In computer technology and telecommunications, online indicates a state of connectivity over digital networks, and offline indicates a disconnected state.
