"CO:OPyright: Challenges and Practices of Copyright and Licensing of
Digital Cultural Heritage"

Conference at the University of Graz

April 12/13, 2017

The conference is hosted by the Centre for Information Modelling - Austrian
Centre for Digital Humanities and the Institute of the Foundations of Law,
Section 'Law and ICT' at the University of Graz (Austria).

In the age of digital information technology and the constant availability
of information through the Internet, it is not only important to have
democratic access to knowledge, but also essential to consider the
potential that lies in the critical production and expansion of knowledge.

The CO:OP – short for Community as Opportunity: the creative archives' and
users' network – co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European
Union aims to strengthen and promote the co-operation between institutions
preserving our common cultural heritage and the general public.

Of particular interest and concern to cultural heritage institutions are
issues of copyright on, provision of and access to digitized material.
There is a recognizable political drive in the European Union to facilitate
public access to cultural heritage – and data in general – hosted at public
institutions. However, the lack of  legal harmonization and the often
unclear national legislations on the use and provision of resources by
public cultural  heritage or scientific institutions has been prohibiting a
much broader engagement between the general public and its own cultural
heritage.

This conference invites:

a. legal experts to present contributions on the legal framework concerning
digital cultural heritage resources on a national or international level,
the European and international conditions, political developments and
innovative approaches to improve the situation on the use and provision of
such resources,

b. experts and curators from cultural heritage institutions to share their
best - and worst! - practice examples with projects that had to deal with
copyright and licensing as exemplary showcases for the CO:OP community at
large.

These two different perspectives on the topic will be presented in
consecutive sessions of 20-minute papers on April 13 and brought together
in a Panel Discussion with stakeholders from cultural heritage
institutions, the legal academic community and representatives of funding
bodies and political entities at the end of the conference.

Pre-Conference Workshops on April 12 will provide hands-on sessions on
pertinent licensing tools, Open GLAM, and the introduction of a Guidelines
and Best Practices document regarding the core topics of the conference
which will serve as one of the deliverables and milestones of the CO:OP
project.

Please submit your abstracts (of up to 800 words), and a short biography of
the author(s), to:  <zim at uni-graz.at> by January 23, 2017.

The submissions will be peer reviewed and the review results returned by
February 13, 2017.
