Why?More and more cultural institutions make their collections and information digitally accessible. This creates many new opportunities to use this information to create new applications, allowing everybody to participate in arts and culture in new ways. However, this data is often very difficult to access for others.

Who?Open Cultuur Data (Open Cultural Data) is a network of cultural professionals, developers, designers, copyright specialists and open data experts, that opens cultural data and encourages the development of valuable cultural applications. This makes culture accessible in new ways to a broader public.
