The document discusses open source, open standards, and open services. It argues that for reuse to occur, open source alone is not sufficient and open standards are needed to enable communication and collaboration. It also states that open services require not only open programs but also open communication, data, and usage by users through standard protocols. The document then questions why some open systems like NNTP and ODP failed and suggests that open APIs from companies like Google and Facebook could enable an open service model. It advocates for an open system that is not only open source, data, and services but also open mind.
