[pd-discuss] What We Hope the Digital Public Library of America Will Become

[Samuel Klein]

DPLA is serving as a platform for services and metadata more than a
creator of them.  A license-sensitive search is most desirable.  DPLA
can do things such as encouraging all content hubs to include license
data per record, where they have a non-default license, and
encouraging search providers to include a license-search option,
buidling on that data.

In many cases, however, at least for material older than CC, what we
need is a service like the Durationator which can take in the
identifier for a work and look up its (c) status in a shared global
database.
