STARDIT
Standardised Data on Initiatives (STARDIT) is a standardised way to share information about who was involved in an initiative, what was done, what was learned and any impacts which occurred. It is open-access, is free to use, and data is viewable and editable by anyone by anyone.[1]
STARDIT reports can include data about which tasks were done by different people, and can be updated at any point to include outcomes and impacts.
STARDIT provides a way for anyone find, understand and improve information about collective human actions, which are referred to as ‘initiatives’. It can be used across different areas of human knowledge, from health research, environmental research and education, to government policies, manufacturing, or the arts.
STARDIT enables multiple categories of data to be reported in a standardised way across disciplines and languages. Because the data is organised into common shared data fields across disciplines, it makes it easier to compare initiatives in a way which has not been possible in the past, including using both human and machine readable linked-data.[1]

About STARDIT
Over 100 people from multiple disciplines and countries have been involved in co-designing STARDIT since 2019, using a participatory action research paradigm.
The charity 'Science for All' is hosting the co-design process of STARDIT pro-bono, and Wikimedia Australia is hosting the STARDIT data and online infrastructure pro bono.
