[OpenGLAM] OpenGLAM principles v.0.2. - input welcome!

[Fae]

Hi,

As part of a Wikimedia initiative, I tried a different tack a while back,
and started drafting a simple "manifesto", primarily for funding bodies to
consider rather than GLAMs. If the funding bodies adopt simple principles
when prioritizing funding, this naturally flows to all of our GLAM
programmes. As with many such ideas it has sat on the back-burner for a
while, it would be nice to see something as simple as this be a front end
for more details principles, possibly expressed with the different types of
audience in mind.

You can find my draft on-wiki at:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Open_Knowledge_manifesto_for_cultural_projects.

For convienience the text body is:

*Manifesto*

All cultural and heritage programmes with elements of public funding should
be committed to:

*Preservation*

Long term value of any project must be measured against credible plans for
eternal preservation. External hosting should be assessed for their
capability to commit to 100 year operational plans rather than 10 year
plans.
Artefacts subject to rapid deterioration (such as inscriptions subject to
natural erosion) should be considered for archive quality digital
preservation in addition to physical preservation or restoration.

*Access*

The public should have simple access to project outcomes.
The default for all projects should be free access for the public.
Virtual access should be a central component to access planning.

*Engagement*

Collaborative open knowledge projects, such as Wikipedia, should be a
central component to engagement planning.
Open knowledge must be easy to reuse and consume for collaboration to be
realistic. Digital assets should be licensed for free reuse and formatted
in the most commonly accepted open standards.

Cheers,
Fae
