[OpenGLAM] Paper on re­use of public sector information in cultural heritage institutions

[Tom Morris]

Why not include at least enough basic contextual information to allow us to
decide whether or not we should pay attention?

Apparently "the PSI directive," at least in this context, refers to
European Union directive 2003/98/EC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_on_the_re-use_of_public_sector_information

The Centrum Cyfrowe doesn't appear to have an English language site, but
could be loosely translated (at least by Google) as the Polish Center for
Digital Design.  Institute for Information Law appears to live here
http://www.ivir.nl/index-english.html in the virtual world of University of
Amsterdam.  The lead author is from Kennisland, some kind of Dutch
consultancy/think tank http://www.kennisland.nl/en/  The first question
that probably sprang to mind when you saw "think tank," was "Who's paying
them?"

How much will the feedback being solicited here effect the presentation at
today's (yesterday's?) event?
