On 21 February 2020, meemoo and the Royal Library of Belgium organised a special study day in Brussels in celebration of Public Domain Day. Sam Donvil (meemoo) introduced the basic principles of the public domain and its significance to heritage institutions. He also gave an overview of authors that fell into the public domain in 2020, some examples of possibilities with public domain works all over the world and illustrated concrete actions taken by meemoo, a.o. concerning the oeuvre of James Ensor. Then, two other speakers from Vlaamse Kunstcollectie and KU Leuven took the floor. Sam Donvil continued with some guidelines for institutions that want to bring collections into the public domain, and a few words on Open Access in Belgium. To conclude, the results of the Wiki Loves Heritage photography competition were announced.

Public Domain Day in Belgium celebrated works that entered the public domain in 2023. Several institutions showcased how they uploaded public domain collections in 2022 and 2023, including the Passchendaele Museum which shared experiences from an upload workshop and the Agentschap Onroerend Erfgoed which highlighted architectural drawings. Other showcases were from the KBR on their Public Domain Day uploads and Europeana's findings from five years of their Open GLAM survey on sharing cultural heritage collections. The event advocated for better sharing of cultural heritage in the public domain.

Presentation to Open GLAM México, 6 September 2018, Mexico City. This event linked numerous institutions to encourage dialogue around the Open GLAM movement and was jointly organised by the Ministry of Culture, the National Institute of Fine Arts, the Cultural Center of Spain in Mexico and Wikimedia México.
The aims of Open GLAM México were:
• Socialise good practices and policies generated by GLAM institutions to distribute data and digital objects, in national and international context.
• Promote the opening of digital collections in public and private institutions in Mexico.
• Establish an open dialogue on copyright issues focused on the use, reuse and appropriation of digital collections of cultural heritage.
Some slides on how museums and related cultural heritage institutions are using Creative Commons to...
1) Share their digital collections
2) Share collection records
3) Engage users and artists, thereby tapping into new communities of stakeholders
...ultimately increasing their impact and reach beyond one entity's website or physical presence.

The document discusses the challenge of curating large amounts of digital content from Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) institutions to make it more useful and meaningful for various audiences. It provides examples of how Europeana has curated content for digital humanists studying newspapers, teachers exploring World War I sources, citizens on Wikipedia, art lovers on Wikidata and Wikipedia, and art professionals viewing high-resolution altarpieces. The key takeaways are to be open, generous, humble, aware of users, and repackage large datasets into smaller, contextualized and segmented datasets for specific user groups.

Linked Open Data Publications through Wikidata & Persistent Identification...PACKED vzw
In order for museums to truly reap the benefits of publishing their collections online in a sustainable way, PACKED vzw presents the results of its Linked open data project as a best practice guide for the Flemish heritage sector.
Museums in Flanders are contributing their artwork data to Wikidata to make it available to a broader audience. The data, including persistent identifiers and links to external authorities, was uploaded under a CC0 license. This provides benefits like low costs, increased reach through Wikipedia, and placing the works in a wider context. Museums can now get back an RDF export of the data and see their works integrated in the linked open data cloud. Next steps include adding more detail to artist biographies and correcting any errors or duplicates in the data.

Project 'The Digital City Revives'. A Case Study of Web ArchaeologyTjarda de Haan
1. The project 'DDS Revives' aims to reconstruct and preserve 'The Digital City' (De Digitale Stad, or DDS), the first Dutch online community from 1994-2001, through the practice of web archaeology.
2. DDS was an important early digital environment that brought the internet to the Dutch public and helped shape online culture, but much of its digital content is now lost.
3. The project involves excavating remaining data through tools like the Wayback Machine, reconstructing original software and applications, and archiving the content for long-term preservation and access in order to make this important part of digital history available to the public.

PACKED has researched, developed and published data, tools and strategies using open source and open data as a lever for building a sustainable digital memory. Aside from sharing our projects, results and peeking at the new challenges that lie ahead, we provide a platform for two of our partners to showcase projects which were set up in collaboration with PACKED:
-The King Baudouin Foundation collaborated with PACKED in order to open up their collections on Wikimedia plaftorms

Museomix is a hack-a-thon with the goal of creating innovative prototypes for public mediation. This talk was held in the context of the 'collegagroep digitale participatie' for the Flemish heritage sector. It highlights the participative and co-creative aspects of museomix and invites museums to apply to be remixed in 2018.
This document announces a call for museums to participate in an international hackathon called Museomix, which brings together teams of developers, designers, and others to prototype new ideas for museums over a 3 day period in November. The hackathon will take place in 8 countries and 13 cities across 14 participating museums. Interested museums are encouraged to apply by April 13 with information on what roles they will play in organizing the local event. The document provides details on the application process and timeline for the Museomix hackathon.
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for linked open data in cultural heritage institutions. It summarizes that while many institutions have digitized collections and data, their "digital mindset" and outdated systems have limited data sharing and reuse. The document outlines recent and ongoing projects by PACKED to address this, such as developing tools to publish structured data on Wikimedia platforms, and a "datahub" and "resolver tool" to facilitate internal data management and linking to external references. Next steps include expanding these projects and conducting a survey to understand demand for cultural heritage data. The overall aim is to make institutions' data and collections more accessible and reusable on the web.
Elaboration the hackathon Museomix's position in changing cultures of cultural consumption and the open culture movement, from passive consumption to more active participatory modes of consumption.

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.

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

• 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
