• #5 RUURD (Still from, Weeknummer 80-17: Enorme voorraad boeken in centraal boekhuis, source: Open Images, cc-by-sa) Hi, my name is Ruurd Blom. I have been at Sound and Vision for over 13 years and I saw our archives change from analogue to digital. As a media manager collection access it is my task to make content available online as open as possible. Open Access: the results of publicly financed research should be online and freely available: no financial, legal or technical barriers. Open Access leads to: Participation and engagement (easier to make new discoveries and new applications) Releasing social and commercial value (could deliver economic growth and contributes in solving social issues by giving new insights) Transparency and visibility of institutions: the reach of collections grows enormously when shared open
• #6 RUURD (Still from, Weeknummer 64-37: Herfst- en wintermode, source: Open Images, cc-by-sa) open media platform that offers online access to audiovisual archive material to stimulate creative reuse. initiative of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in collaboration with Knowledgeland. developed as a project alongside Images for the Future, our big digitization project. today we use Open Images as our open access portal. 5.415 video’s (and still growing), easy reuse without logins 3.387 video’s from our collection + 880 video’s Natuurbeelden + other parties Downloadable in various formats, open reuse Open reuse on Open Images is based on Creative Commons- license model ‘open formats, standards en software components: all software of Open Images is open source Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) API (application programming interface): other parties can harvest and reuse metadata en content in a structured way Also on Wikimedia Commons and Europeana (digital collections from European cultural and scientific organisations)
• #7 Ruurd (Still from Stadsgezichten Haarlem (HD), 1913, source: Open Images, public domain) Creative Commons (CC) is an American non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share. We primarily use CC BY-SA, creative commons - by - share alike You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially Under the following terms: Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. ShareAlike — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
• #8 RUURD (Still from, Lepelaar in goud licht bij zonsondergang, source: Open Images, cc-by-sa) Content from Open Images is used on Wikimedia Commons and Europeana (digital collections from European cultural and scientific organisations) Material of Dutch cultural heritage institutions have 67 million monthly views thanks to Wikimedia projects (foremost Wikipedia). For example, the video from nature filmer Marc Plomp Lepelaar in goud licht bij zonsondergang (Spoonbill in golden light at sunset) is used in 58 countries on Wikipedia (like on the Greec, Bulgarian, Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Polish Wikipedia & 52 more). Actual views per item on Wikimedia are not measurable yet, but we can track the views of Wikipedia pages that reuse that content as an illustration. Tools to track the usage of the content are BaGLAMa 2 and GLAMorous, both designed by Magnus Manske (German scientist & software developer).
• #9 RUURD (Still from Weeknummer 79-13, Tentoonstelling mens en computer, source: Open Images, cc-by-sa) We have already started uploading High Res films to Open Images, and we keep on adding more content. To give open access, we have to find out whether we can mark the content as public domain or use a creative commons license. Public Domain: there is no copyright, free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights So today our focus is on open access - not only for the general public and education, but for professional use as well. But when can we give open access?
• #10 RUURD (Still from Weeknummer 48-09, Eerste na-oorlogse zitting Internationale Hof van Justitie, source: Open Images, cc-by-sa) First, we always look at the copyright: Copyright is a bundle of rights: given to specific types of works: films, documentaries, art etc one product can include a large number of copyright relevant works each copyright has its own (set of) right holders, each work has its own bundle of rights reproduction, distribution and especially making available online Rights are transferable Right holder can provide the permission but who is the right holder?
• #11 RUURD (Still from Weeknummer 71-06: Eerste Jumbo Jet voor KLM source: Open Images, cc-by-sa) We are working on a flowchart which alerts us and creates awareness of copyright and the layers within the copyright. The flowchart is also an instrument that provides structure in asking ourselves the right questions and in making decisions. Is the right holder a legal person or a natural person? Is the work lawfully published or communicated? Is it 70 years after first publication? 70 years after the death of the longest living author? Are there neighboring or moral rights? So, can we mark this as public domain or cc-by-sa? If not, what cán we do? We will report and capture the flowchart usage outcomes (= rights metadata) in our MAM-system, so the results can be retrieved easily afterwards. We have been working on the flowchart for some months now with people from our legal department, our policy advisor, the coordinator from the access department and myself. We encountered many internal discussions. The quantity of opinions and interpretations makes it hard to filter the right knowledge and apply this to our situation. In the end we have to make choices and make a risk analysis.
• #12 RUURD (Detail from the beta flowchart drawing) Now we have a beta version of our flowchart and of the forms for the rights metadata in our MAM system. Coming period we will test and experiment with the flowchart and fine-tune it along the way. The flowchart will be our main tool to determine whether we can grant open access, or not. But if we can, we will - in the highest quality possible!
