Conclusions• Time to embrace openness: innovation, impact, reuse
• New success metrics needed:
• Income: measured in money (low/high res)
• Public Outreach: to measure the number of (online) visitors
• Reuse: to measure the use of data and content by heritage institutions themselves and by others
• Public Participation: to measure the added metadata and content
• Collaboration (Open Culture Data) helps to built momentum and raise awareness
• Linked Open Data gaining momentum in the CH domain
