Europeana Sounds Kick-Off WP3: Licensing Guidelines

Lisette Kalshoven, Kennisland

Starting point

The Europeana Licensing Framework (ELF) is the framework of agreements,

guidelines and terms and conditions that facilitates the supply, exchange, access to and use of metadata and content via

Europeana.

metadata

Publishing metadata

Main principle: All metadata must be available under the same (non restrictive) terms• All metadata that Europeana receives from the data providers is

published under the terms of the CC0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

content

Publishing content

Main principle: Europeana does not publish (or even hosts) digital objects• Europeana publishes metadata about digital objects.The metadata describing a digital object must carry a rights statement related to that digital object. • edm:rights supports a limited list of rights statements that

can be used to describe the rights status of the digital object (and the preview image).• If the digital object is in the public domain the rights statement

must say so.

What does the ELF mean for Europeana Sounds?• All objects in Europeana must have a (correct)

rights label • All objects that are in the public domain must

remain in the public domain (Public Domain Charter)

• User Contributed Content (UCC) - CC BY-SA• Respect the licenses and statements provided

when using objects for tools, new works or services

WP3 objective

the rights survey:• What rights-related problems arise when you try

to ingest audio content into Europeana?• What kind of unique identifiers can we adopt for

Europeana?• What are access barriers for your out-of-
