A presentation given at Wikimania 2014 in London, sharing the genesis of Open Authority to Wikipedians in an effort to provide more confidence in speaking the language of the cultural sector. This talk details the theoretical background behind Open Authority, as well as the spectrum of Open Authority, and elements that make up an Open Authority project.
