3. Digital Public Library of America
• The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) will make
the cultural and scientific heritage of humanity available,
free of charge, to all. The DPLA’s primary focus is on
making available materials from the United States.
Code – where possible make use of existing
free and open source code; built on open
standards
Metadata – shareable; available under CC0
license to allow for unrestricted reuse; goal to
operate as part of global linked data
environment; resolves to digital objects
Content – incorporate all types of content
beginning with “green lighted” & public domain
content that resolves to digital objects
Tools & Services – provide tools and
services for enhanced use of content and
content creation
Community – participatory platform – WE are
the DPLA
4. Europeana.eu, Europe’s cultural heritage portal
26M objects from 2,200 European galleries, museums, archives and libraries
Libraries National Aggregators
Regional Aggregators
Archives
Audiovisual
collections Thematic collections
5. What types of objects does Europeana gives access to?
Text Image Video Sound 3D
6. A global movement to open up knowledge around the world and
see it used and useful

7. Today's Points of Discussion
• Copyright and open licensing
• Infrastructure to enable
• Open business models
• What are we building?
• Community as resource
10. Copyright and open data licensing
• Large institutions making $ selling data?
• Rights not always clear or known by
institution
• Creative Commons has developed licensing
tools now being widely adopted by CH
institutions for their data
11. Copyright and Open data in DPLA
DPLA Policy Statement on Metadata
1) The Vast Majority of Metadata is Not Subject to
Copyright Restrictions
2) The DPLA's Partners Share the DPLA's Commitment to
Open Data = CC0 license for all metadata
3) The DPLA asserts NO Rights Over its Database of
Metadata and Waives all Claims for Infringement
Thereof.
16. APIs and interoperability
• DPLA API - github.com/dpla
o Available under AGPLv3
• Europeana API
o pro.europeana.eu/api
• Europeana Linked Open data pilot
o data.europeana.eu
17. Data model and interoperability
From dozens of metadata formats to one
Europeana Data model
Consolidated with partners who re-use it – DPLA!

Metadata AND content
Licensing campaign
Give better rights data for more content!

21. Value Proposition
Activities Relationship
Resources
Stakeholders
Partners Channels
Costs Benefits
‘The business model describes the logic of our organization to create and deliver value’
23. We had aggregated millions of objects and made them available
through one specific interface
But the portal setup didn’t cater to the needs of wildly differing customer
segments...
2008-2012
24. Who have their own workflows and preferences for accessing
information
2008-2012
25. The key to this was changing the licensing framework
But how does this affect the business model of our partner institutions?
31. The Rijksmuseum found out that yellow copies of
Vermeer’s Milkmaid became so persistent on the web that
visitors started to believe the original was a fake...

Some slides re-used from Harry Verwayen
(http://www.slideshare.net/hverwayen/business-model-innovation-
open-data) and Julia Fallon
At a working level, we operate in a network of aggregators. We can’t work directly with 2,200 organisations, so we rely on aggregators to collect data, harmonise it, and deliver to Europeana. Aggregators are important because they share a background with the organisations whose content they bring together, so there is close understanding. The aggregation model enables Europeana to collect huge quantities of data from thousands of providers, through only a handful of channels.
Les Miserables: Victor Hugo’s handwritten manuscripts: http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/9200103/5372912AF66AB529E188218BC1F747E75EB1A18F.html BnF, public domain Matisse ‘53 in the form of a double helix’ http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/9200104/F8D60AB9136C8A59B59DF1CFEC278A6CABA8B0C6.html The Wellcome Library (CC-BY-NC-ND) ‘ söprűtánc ’ – Hungarian traditional dance http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/08901/E1A7B01BE4AED87FD239672F4F3941F52262D6B2.html Hungarian Academy of Sciences Institute for Musicolog y, public domain ‘ Neurologico reggae’ Music album http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/08901/ADC241BCBF8470988DBA6EEAFCF13F14D88E5534.html DISMARC – EuropeanaConnect Paid Access ‘ Castle of Kavala’ 3D exploration of a Greek castle http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/2020703/05607B24D15BD516EE2B765F74CDA39C7427F7FB.html Cultural and Educational Technology Institute - Research Centre Athen CARARE CC-BY-NC-ND
Building a global community of organisations and individuals committed open up data and content held by Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museum Sharing best practices and providing documentation on the whys and hows of open data and content in cultural her Stimulating the re-use of open cultural data and content by building open source platforms and tools
From the Community / Communities: Make sure - the difference of 'data' and 'content' . Is content "data"? - Digital Humanitities.....etc. point to make - I want to build a new app or project with data or content from my local library what's the best way to approach them and encourage them to let me do it D
Openness with respect to cultural heritage has a multitude of benefits for teaching and research as well as for cultural heritage institutions seeking to become more participatory
Some large CH institutions have made money from selling the metadata about objects they hold CH institutions hold objects for which they don't hold rights, for which the rights status is unknown as well as those objects for which all rights have expired (public domain) Creative Commons have developed licensing tools now being widely adopted by CH institutions for their data - mention CC-0 Europeana release last year
Example used is: http://preview.europeana.eu/portal/record/90402/174D436CF5C61F8AA999090C98DA48B9C7024087.html Een vrouw met een kind in een kelderkamer by Pieter de Hooch, Rijksmuseum, public domain
Antoine - will begin this section - talking about how aggregations, mapping to EDM and DPLA's MAP and open APIs enable

Ask Audience: what is a business model?
How do we cater to different end user communities who have different needs?

Ask Audience: what is a business model? The archive sector aims to preserve our heritage and make it broadly accessible Digitization is a powerful tool to reach those goals and create added value. But how does this affect our business model?
Reach a new audience Create user participation In the new model things had drastically changed

Image use in Wikipedia articles March 2012: Walters images were used in a total of 27 Wikipedia articles in 12 languages. This was the month the image upload was completed. [1] December 2012: After continued distribution in projects via crowdsourcing, Walters images are now used in 1,357 articles in over 40 languages. [1] As of December 2012, over 2,130 image are used in Wikimedia projects. Do keep in mind that many images uploaded by the Walters are primary sources (books) or multiple images of one object.

[4] Traffic to the Walters website from Wikimedia and Wikipedia January 2012: Before the upload, Wikimedia and Wikipedia websites (all languages) direct about 2,000 visits to the Walters' website, annually. January 2013: After the upload, Wikimedia and Wikipedia websites (all languages) direct about 10,882 visits to the Walters' website, annually. This is an increase of about 544% in the amount of traffic from these sources.
