[epsi-coord] Europeana Licensing Framework speaker?

Sat Feb 25 11:31:40 GMT 2012

Dear all,

I have been contacted by Paul Keller who suggests that we also cover the
Licencing Framework of Europeana (see text below).

It would be the third Europeana presenter.

I would like to put this point on the agenda for Monday. If other requests
for a slot have reached you, please bring them in as well. We do have a
spare room, so we could organize ad hoc things, but I do like to plan this
properly.

Reg. M.

hoeren wij volgende week van jou of dit nog in het programma past.

met vriendelijke groet,

The Europeana Licensing Framework

- Europeana is currently in the process of re-licensing the 20 million plus
metadata sets in it's database that have been provided by 400+ cultural
heritage institutions across Europe.

- Form 1 July 2012 onwards all metadata published by Europeana on the
website, via it's APIs and as Linked Open Data will be available under the
terms of the CC0 Public Domain dedication

- To facilitate re-use of the content described by the metadata Europeana is
also publishing standardized rights information relating to the content.

- By combining a single open data license (CC0) for its metadata with
standardized rights information about the content that is exposed through
this metadata, europeana will be able to provide data for interoperable
services that can deal with the often complicated rights status of digitized
cultural heritage.

- We hope that the Europeana Licensing Framework will set a standard for
making available metadata held by cultural heritage institutions across
Europe.
