From a CMU Libraries Announcement:
Carnegie Mellon University Libraries has launched the Open Index Project, a new initiative designed to make the evolution of open knowledge easier to discover and understand. Over the last few decades, open access publishing, open data, open source and other open practices have changed how knowledge moves from discovery to dissemination and reuse. At the same time, the landscape surrounding openness has continued to change.
The Open Index Project collects and contextualizes important moments across the field, creating a resource for those interested in understanding how it has developed over time.
STEM Librarians Chasz Griego and Huajin Wang led the development of the Open Index Project, with contributions from other members of the Open at CMU team.

The Open Index Tracker is an interactive dataset that brings together key resources and milestones in open knowledge. Users can filter entries by open area or category to explore resources such as dashboards and landmark reports. Each entry provides a concise summary and context for understanding its significance.

Building toward the Open Index Report
The Tracker and Timeline also provide a foundation for the next phase of the project.
Coming in 2027, the inaugural Open Index Report will draw on the Tracker and additional analysis to examine significant trends across the open ecosystem. The Report will consider the various forces shaping openness and explore what these developments may mean for the future of research.
