ODI Nodes connect organizations that support open data projects and people. There are different types of Nodes - Country Nodes work closely with government, City or Region Nodes deliver projects and research, and Communications Nodes share use cases around the world. To become an ODI Node, an organization must adopt the ODI charter, license the ODI Node brand, and be listed in the ODI Node registry. Nodes commit to supporting open data in their local communities.
