exchange of ideas and information. This helps us all to understand our cultural diversity better

and contributes to a thriving knowledge economy.

Economy

The key to being able to make the switch from

Aggregator to Distributor serving the user wherever they are

was changing the licensing framework

CC0Open content

Paid content

Correct rights labels

Where our interaction with users is not ‘push’

Where together with all the players in the Europeana Network we work on a sense of shared ownership and

cooperation

Where the data is as open a possible, but there is room for paid services

Where ownership is public, including users

Can we rethink Europeana as a Cloud giving access to high quality metatdata, to content, to tools and services, with a set of principles that allow ‘users’ direct access for their own purposes?
