Hi Carolina,

I am a developer for Europeana's[1] open source Public Domain Calculator.
This work has a common start with the OKFN's implementation for
publicdomainworks.net We also intend to bring the two calculators together
in the future.
For Europeana we research all European Jurisdictions and Iceland, we hope to
be done by june 2011. Our code is open source and can be found using this
link [2]. If you have a developer on your end you can have a look at this
code.

Unfortunately we are restricted by Europeana's project milestones and cannot
release some of our research data until we can publish it for Europeana.

I've also made an import tool for an open source Flowchart program called
yEd[3]. I will be able to make a flowchart website tool for you, if you use
the Flowchart tools within that yEd program and restrict yourself to diamond
and box shape figures.

For inspirational, although outdated, flowcharts you can look here[4].

Jonathan Gray and Rufus Pollock from the OKFN are the people to contact if
you want to go more in the direct of publicdomainworks.net.

I hope this answers your question, if you have any other question don't
hesitate to put them on this list.

I am Carolina Botero, I am a Colombian Lawyer CC coleader in my country and
working for a Foundation especially on IP issues related to education
I have done some research on PD in Colombia during the 20th century and
already have some information that could work for a calculator according to
our legislation, while I have done this for specific projects there seems to
be some interest from some institutions to do it on a general basis I just
hope I can put together everything to take it to safe port
Anyway, i will like to receive some advise from you about how is the project
going?. how could we join the project? how should I proceed to do this on
standard basis that will ease the process?, what kind of information do you
need from us?, metadata? format? do you have examples or instructios? etc.

Hope to hear from you soon
Carolina
