4. The public domain is...
...all the creative works to which no
exclusive intellectual property rights apply.
Those rights may have:
• expired
• been forfeited
• expressly waived
• be inapplicable.
5. The public domain is...
Logos: PD mark ≠ license! CC0 ≠ license
Other rights may apply:
• neighbouring rights
• privacy rights
• etc.
OpenGLAM community promotes showing this information clearly and
correctly through rights statements, and move away from limiting access or
reuse by claiming copyright
7. Countries with 70 years copyright
protection

Micheaux
8. USA
• complex
• sometimes also from date
of publication instead of
date of death author
• 2022: copyrighted works
from 1926 -> PD
• A.A.. Milne’s
Winnie-the-Pooh
• Felix Salten’s Bambi
• Ernest Hemingway’s The
Sun Also Rises
• Langston Hughes’ The
Weary Blues
• silent films starring Burster
Keaton & Greta Garbo
• …
9. Public Domain Day Why?
Society at large society
• Copyright law gives authors important rights that encourage creativity
and distribution and, in case of early death of the authors, a guaranteed
income for their family.
• But it also ensures that those rights last for a “limited time,” so that when
they expire, works can go into the public domain, where future authors
can legally build upon their inspirations.
• The Public Domain is the rule, copyright protection is the exception.
• However, the fact that works are legally available, does not mean they
are actually available.
10. Public Domain Day Why?

11. Public Domain Day Why?

on public domain material

22. Public Domain Dedication CC0
• CC0 means that no rights are
reserved.
• Creators waive all their rights and
place their work directly and
immediately in the public
domain.
23. Public Domain Mark
• The public domain mark is used to
communicate the public domain
status of works.
• It does not have the same legal value
as other CC licenses because it is not
accompanied by a legal code.
• It is a label or tag used on a work that
is already free of copyright restrictions
worldwide.

Annual platform for heritage institutions to
share progress in making public domain
collections accessible, reusable and reused:
● concrete actions (ie. uploads,
determining rights status of collections)
● policy changes
● sharing best practices
26. Wiki upload MSK Ghent (Sam Donvil,
meemoo)
• metadata entire collection
uploaded to Wikidata
since 2016
• subsequent image uploads
(453 images)
• 2022: additional +-1000
images, working towards
upload of full collection on
Wikimedia platforms
• opportunity: internship
27. Wiki upload MSK Ghent

Commons query service
Structured Data on Commons
(SDC) provides structured
metadata (basically a version
of Wikidata attached to the
image)
● much increased
searchability in visual
search environment
● SPARQL querying
● Search images based on
structured attributes
registered in a database
30. Wikimedia tooling update: Wikimedia Commons

35. Guiding principles
1. as open as possible (“openness”)
• avoid surrogate IP rights over artworks in the public domain
• art. 14 DSM directive : “...when the term of protection of a work of visual
art has expired, any material resulting from an act of reproduction of that
work is not subject to copyright or related rights…” (2019)
• Europeana Public Domain Charter : “what is in the public domain stay in
the public domain” (2010)
2. as closed as necessary (“balancedness”)
• honor relevant IP rights or other applicable legal agreements
• > copyrights of the photographer of ‘original’ photos of artworks
• cf. art. 14 DSM directive: …unless the material resulting from that act of
reproduction is original in the sense that it is the author's own intellectual
creation.”
• > property rights of the owner
• can impose restrictions on access and reproduction of artworks in his
collections
36. current label = CC0
> copyright has been waived
However:
• artwork = 16th century painting
> in the public domain : no
copyright applies
• photo = technical reproduction
> Belgian case law : no copyright
applies (lack of originality)
proposed new label = PDM
(1) photos of two-dimensional artworks in the
public domain
37. current label = CC-BY-NC-ND
> “translation”of a set of restrictions
imposed by owner into a copyright
licence
• artwork = 18th century painting
> no copyright applies
• photo = technical reproduction
> no copyright applies
proposed new label = “no copyright
- contractual restrictions”
(2) photos of 2D artworks in the PD with
restrictions imposed by the collection owner
38. • artwork = public domain
> 19th century sculpture
• photo = in copyright
> Belgian case law : photographers
can make personal, free choices in
lighting, point of view…
current best option = CC-BY
> attribution is typically required in
photography contracts with AIF
preferred label = CC0
> copyright waived : remains ‘PD’
> attribution as best practice
(3) photos of three-dimensional artworks in the
public domain
39. Next : from theory to practice
• legal formalities
• positive legal advice on the proposed new labels
• a revision of IP clauses in photography contracts
• permission of concerned photographers
• ‘internal’ vs. ‘external’ photography
• technical choices
• back-office implementation : 2D vs. 3D...
• front-office implementation : preferred citation…
• ‘user’ involvement
• create a support base with content providers to adopt the new labeling policy
• promote (re)use of the data with end-users
41. The public domain tool: one year on (Bart
Magnus, meemoo)
• Public Domain Tool context on meemoo’s website: https://bit.ly/3spDnbF
• article on Europeana Pro: https://bit.ly/3JgM7Yr
• www.publiekdomeintool.be
42. The public domain tool: how does it work?
• automate the identification of public domain content in your collection
• based on
• your own metadata (type of work, names, birth and death dates of creators, date of
creation)
• Wikidata
• Start from a csv export with collection data
• validate the proposed matches to creators on Wikidata
• output:
• enriched csv (birth and death dates from Wikidata added, public domain works
identified, external identifiers added)
• collection data added to Wikidata -> help for other heritage organisations
• basic knowledge of Dutch recommended
