  This is me Hi, I’mDavid Haskiya and I’m the Product Developer at Europeana. So what does that mean? It means that I translate between GLAM-speak and Development speak to make sure our web sites and other technical tools deliver value to our users. One of our products I work with is our API. And the API really needs Open Data! /David PS. GLAM=Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. DS.

  Open (meta)Data andOpen Content
• 9.
  Why Open?  Becausemost metadata are facts and facts are not copyrightable  Titles, dates, identifiers, factual descriptions etc.  Because a large proportion of cultural content is out of copyright  The creators are a lot of dead (70+ years) white guys…  Because the citizen has already (in most cases) paid for it once  Because our mission is to increase public access and re-use and Open Data, Open Content and Open Access facilitates that  Tip: Use CC-BY-SA if you have in copyright content that you don’t want others to exclusively commercially re-use
• 10.
  All metadata Open,some content Open  All the metadata (descriptions of media objects) is CC0 and so free for any reuse  Media objects individually licenced or marked as being in the Public Domain  Must only be reused according to its licence  Not all Europeana objects have an explicit licence but we’re working to gradually improve that  Check out our Terms of Use&Policies  And read our Licensing Framework in full (PDF)

  The Europeana API
• 15.
  Not only aportal, but also an API!  What’s in the portal is also available in the API
• 16.
  The Europeana API API v.1 in production since early 2011  API v.2 to be released in March but is already in beta • Sign-up and get started with your implementation • When released API v.1 will be supported but won’t be developed further  API v.2 allows a developer to programmatically access all search and retrieval functions available in the portal  Our latest (API2) partner implementation is from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) search service OpenAGRIS  Search e.g. for pesticides or olea europaea (latin for olive tree)  The API allows our partners and third parties to build specialized applications using all or selections of our functionality and content  And in so doing they can adapt Europeana content to their user’s needs and requirements. As FAO has done.
