YaTTI
Yayasan Teknologi Terbuka Indonesia (YaTTI) is the Indonesian Open Technology Foundation, established in Jakarta in 2014. We promote open technology principles — open source, open standards, open data, and open science — through advocacy, research, and practical tools including our knowledgebase API for AI-powered research across specialized domains.
Our founding principles, expressed as eight statements on open technology.
YaTTI exists to tear down Indonesia's digital barriers through open technology. We build practical tools that solve real problems—from AI-powered legal search to knowledge preservation systems. When technology is open, transparent, and accessible, it becomes a force for equality rather than division.
Open standards are the digital world's common language—enabling your phone to call any other, browsers to read any website, and Indonesian developers to compete globally. True openness means anyone can implement without permission or payment. Standards affecting billions shouldn't be controlled by dozens.
Open source powers your world—from Android phones to the servers running the internet. It's software with a superpower: anyone can use, study, modify, and share it. When tools are free and open, a teenager in Bandung can access the same technology as Silicon Valley giants.
Open science breaks down paywalls that lock away humanity's knowledge. When research is freely accessible—from papers to data to methods—discoveries accelerate and solutions spread faster. COVID vaccines developed in record time prove what's possible when scientists share openly.
Open data transforms information from locked vaults into public resources that drive innovation, accountability, and better decisions. From GPS enabling trillion-dollar industries to citizens tracking government spending, open data distributes power. When data is truly open, everyone can build.
Open patents use the patent system against itself—ensuring innovations remain free for everyone to use and improve. Instead of blocking progress with legal landmines, open patents create expanding commons of technology. When life-saving medicines and clean energy solutions are openly licensed, humanity wins.
Open governance replaces closed-door decisions with transparent, participatory processes where those affected have a voice. From Indonesian villages practicing musyawarah to cities using digital platforms for budgeting, open governance builds trust and better outcomes. When power is shared, democracy deepens.
Commons are resources that belong to everyone—from village forests to Wikipedia. Creative Commons makes sharing simple with free licenses that let creators say "some rights reserved" instead of "all rights reserved." With 2.5 billion works shared, the commons prove abundance beats scarcity.
