metadata is standardised
and reusable?

23. Under Connecting Europe Funding
Europeana has to become sustainable
or
prove that as a Digital Service Infrastructure
it can generate economic growth
2

24. And
For the future strategy of Europeana:
•Take the data we have aggregated & enriched
•Distribute into Education, Tourism, Hobby &
Professional interest sites, Apps, uses...
Become a distribution pipeline for
contributing partners

28. So what next?

29. Existing Europeana Licensing Framework
3 Principles:
1. All metadata that is published by Europeana
must be
available under the same terms that encourage
re-use
2. Each Digital Object that is available via
Europeana must
carry its own rights statement
3. Previews are treated as an instance of the
Digital Objects
from which they are derived
2

30. Extended Europeana Licensing Framework
1. Opening up the licensing Framework to similar
projects
e.g. DPLA for interoperability
2. Extending the Framework to handle rich,
text-like metadata
3. Providing a Content Re-use Framework
3

31. Extending the Framework to handle rich,
Richer metadata under rights statements other
text-like metadata
than CC0
But
Violates first principle:
“All metadata that is published by Europeana must
be
available under the same terms that encourage
re-use”
Therefore
Proposal that rich metadata will be treated as
digital text documents (linked to the primary
Digital Objects)carrying own rights statements
(from standard list) 3

32. Providing aon top ofRe-use Framework
•Works Content Europeana Licensing
Framework
1.Making objects available will be voluntary,
opt-in
•Conditional rights statement to be added to
metadata (such as ‘the Digital Object may only be re-used by educational users’
or ‘the Digital Object may only be re-used after condition x has been met’)
•The Content Re-use Framework will make
available Digital Objects in Europeana meeting
certain conditions e.g.: direct link the digital object,
minimum quality requirements , digital object is available
under a rights statement that allows re-use
3

33. Ensuring Content Reuse does not interfere with
Europeana Licensing Framework
1. All access-control mechanisms for Digital
objects (not publicly available) need to
implemented at the storage not metadata level
2. Each metadata record needs to contain a link to
at least one publicly available item.
