“I think we needed to recognize that ideas about our data can come from anywhere, and encourage outside partnerships. We should recognize that programmers from outside the organization will have skills and ideas that we don’t have internally and encourage everyone to use them with our data if they want to. When they do, we want to make sure we get them the credit they deserve by pointing our visitors to their sites so they get some exposure for their efforts.” Shelley Bernstein, Brooklyn Museum http://electronicmuseum.org.uk/2009/04/16/the-brooklyn-museum-api-qa-with-shelley-bernstein-and-paul-beaudoin/
