Project renaming: switch « brick » to « base [of knowledge] » [part 1]

After using brick of knowledge to name this artifact, switch to a base
of knowledge on open models, with the aim to have a more name that
sounds more natural.

It was unclear how to name it at the origin as there is few example from
which getting some inspirations, échec du pavé dans la marre.

This notion of knowledge base may be a rising topics to structure
knowledge, and therefore for openness movements. It will be a way to
promote this kind of artifact, while making it easier to transmit,
knowledge base can be more intuitive to understand and to share.

 The digital is a new world that we have only just begun to explore.
 
 Due to its capacity for the free circulation of knowledge and large-scale collaboration, unique phenomena are taking shape: open models that form the epicentre of this digital revolution.
 
 Omnipresent, we know almost nothing about them. Open models have already shaped the digital world and could tomorrow help transform society in the face of the crises of the Anthropocene by changing our relationship to knowledge.

 There is no single answer to the problem of how to produce open education training. There is a whole range of possible approaches, from publishing a PowerPoint-type presentation under an open license, to structuring a complex environment for collaboratively producing OER and enabling interaction between learners.
