Why is it important that metadata is standardised

and reusable?

Under Connecting Europe Funding Europeana has to become sustainable

or prove that as a Digital Service Infrastructure

it can generate economic growth

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

So what next?

Existing Europeana Licensing Framework3 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

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

31

Extending the Framework to handle rich, text-like metadata Richer metadata under rights statements other than CC0

ButViolates 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)

32

Providing a Content Re-use Framework

•Works on top of 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

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.
