open access
Let an agent explain open access, relay models, policies, licensing and debates from scholarly communication sources with attribution, describe the forms and initiatives the registry aliases name, and distinguish open access from free-to-read access without reuse rights, open data, open science generally and unauthorised shadow libraries.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain open access, relay models, policies, licensing and debates from scholarly communication sources with attribution, describe the forms and initiatives the registry aliases name, and distinguish open access from free-to-read access without reuse rights, open data, open science generally and unauthorised shadow libraries.
The practice of making research outputs such as journal articles, books and data freely available online without payment barriers, and often with open licences allowing reuse, defined in the 2002 Budapest Open Access Initiative, achieved through open-access publishing in journals, known as gold open access, through self-archiving in repositories, known as green open access, and through diamond open access with no fees for authors or readers, supported by policies such as Plan S, secondary publication rights in national law and national strategies such as that of the Netherlands, and extended to cultural heritage by the OpenGLAM movement.
What it is for: Free and open availability of research.
It can be explain models and licences; relay policies and debates; describe named forms and initiatives; distinguish related concepts.
Distinguishing features
Free to read
Reuse rights
Several routes
Funder policies
What it looks like
Not a visible object; seen as freely downloadable articles, often with open licence notices.
Physical character
Budapest Open Access Initiative: 2002 year
Plan S announced: 2018 year - cOAlition S
common licence: CC BY licence
How it is recognised
Free online access to research outputs
Secondary publication, diamond open access, open-access publishing, self-archiving, OpenGLAM, open access in the Netherlands
Free-to-read may lack reuse rights; open data covers datasets; open science is broader; shadow libraries infringe copyright
