The 3D-Icons project, funded by the European Commission, aims to develop and provide around 3,000 3D models of iconic monuments to Europeana while addressing intellectual property rights (IPR) management. It involves 19 partners from multiple countries, navigating challenges such as varying IPR attitudes and publication formats. The project utilizes Creative Commons licenses, particularly the by-nc-nd license, to manage IPR and ensure controlled sharing of digital heritage content.
