[open-heritage] Your Paintings Project in the UK

Mon Oct 1 12:01:22 UTC 2012

It is a project run with the Public Catalogue Foundation. The PCF have photographed most collections in the country and are now trying to crowdsource tagging. 

The license is restrictive and based on an agreement to put a copy online but give the proper hi res images to the gallery. Photographers assign their copyright to the collection. This policy unsurprisingly gave them open doors to all galleries and museums.

the metadata seems to be sent to Culture Grid

It would be great to start looping people from the project into conversations on this list and inviting the to Open GLAM events.
