25. Priorities for improving the amount of
(open and free) content in Europeana
Within the Europeana Awareness project (2012-2014) the BnL,
the Institute for information Law, Europeana and Kennisland will
Work on mechanisms for rights clearance in mass digitization
projects (Extended Collective Licensing)
Improve compliance of rights information with the Europeana
Data Model and and the Europeana Public Domain Charter
Promote the use of Creative Commons licenses for digital
objects to make them available for re-use.

26. Cultural institutions
should make public
domain material digitised
with public funding as
widely available as
possible for access and
re-use. This should be part
of the funding conditions for
digitisation across Europe.
(Key reccomendation 1, p.5)

27. European Commission reccomendation on
the digitisation and online accessibility of
cultural material (27 October 2011):
[The European Commission hereby recommends that Member
States] improve access to and use of digitised cultural material
that is in the public domain by:
ensuring that material in the public domain remains in the
public domain after digitisation,
promoting the widest possible access to digitised public
domain material as well as the widest possible re-use of the
material for non-commercial and commercial purposes,
taking measures to limit the use of intrusive watermarks or
other visual protection measures that reduce the usability of
the digitised public domain material;

28. Promote the use of Creative Commons
licenses
Work with contributing organisations that hold rights in the
content that they make available through Europeana to make
these available under a Creative Commons license
This will allow re-use an re-distribution of this material by
others such as educational istitutions, in user-generated
content and by platforms such as Europeana.

29. Research into mechanisms for solving
rights issues encountered in mass
digitization projects
Continue research undertaken into Extended Collectve
Licensing Arrangements for the digitization for cultural
heritage collections.
Intended to provide solutions for organizations contributing to
Europeana (focussing on trans border issues)
