The key to being able to make the switch from Aggregator to
Distributor serving the user wherever they are was changing the
licensing framework
All Europeana metadata
under a CC0 licence
Issue 1: Our interaction with users is still very much ‘push’
Issue 2: in this ‘linear model’, there is not enough sense of shared
ownership and cooperation
Issue 3: we believe in opening up data. Does this leave room for
paid services?
Issue 4: in the current governance structure the ‘users’ take no part
Can we rethink Europeana as a Commons or set of Commons?
We’ve started:
Mutuality
Access
Attribution
Consistency Engagement
European Cultural Commons Principles
Next steps are to apply the
principles to 3 pilots to find out
what works, what doesn’t, what
needs negotiating:
Repository

3-year project
