This study focuses on knowledge commons. It outlines the connection between academic digital databases, such as the Digital Library of the Commons (http://dlc.dlib.indiana.edu/dlc/), the Workshop Research Library (https://ostromworkshop.indiana.edu/library/), the Polycentricity Database (https://polycentricity.com/), and the SES Library that are organized around Elinor Ostrom's vast research agenda, e.g., common pool resources, SES framework, polycentricity, resource users, providers, and the digital infrastructure on which they are hosted.
