An open world is a level or game designed as nonlinear, open areas with many ways to reach an objective. [7] Some games are designed with both traditional and open-world levels.

In the context of knowledge management, the closed-world assumption is used in at least two situations: (1) when the knowledge base is known to be complete (e.g., a corporate database containing records for every employee), and (2) when the knowledge base is known to be incomplete but a "best" definite answer must be derived from incomplete information.
The primary difference between free software and open source is one of philosophy. According to the Free Software Foundation, "Nearly all open source software is free software.

Requirements engineering (RE) [1] is the process of defining, documenting, and maintaining requirements [2] in the engineering design process. It is a common role in systems engineering and software engineering .
Similar to the free content definition, the terms 'gratis' and 'libre' were used in the Budapest Open Access Initiative definition to distinguish between free to read versus free to reuse. [43] Gratis open access refers to free online access, to read, free of charge, without re-use rights. [43]

Both ways use generalizations (for instance, inheritance or delegate functions) to resolve the apparent dilemma, but the goals, techniques, and results are different. The open–closed principle is one of the five SOLID principles of object-oriented design.
