About the 3D-ICONS Project

� Three year Best Practice Network– To supply approx. 3,000 3D models of iconic monuments and

buildings to Europeana

– Develop a process pipeline to cover digitisation to publication

of 3D models and address IPR management.

– 19 partners, 17 content providers, one technology provider and

MDR Partners for project management and dissemination.

– Started February 2012.

– Challenges have included:

� Definitions – small and large models, entities, details …

� IPR (signature of DEA, agreement with authorities)

� Publication formats – technology developments

3D-Models: IPR Attitudes

� Partners are supplying content from UK, France, Italy,

Spain, Greece, Belgium, Romania, Ireland and Cyprus.– Many own existing digital models

– New digitisation happening. Authorities attitudes vary from

refusal of permission to enthusiastic promotion.

– Some partners have had protracted discussions with rights

owners regarding the existing data and derivative models.

– Owners of data which may have intrinsic value to them as rights

holders. IPR policies can be “legacy”.

– Other national authorities who see 3D as a good way to

promote interest in cultural heritage and increase tourism.

– Authorities under economic pressure …

The 3D-ICONS Approach

� Default IPR position for 3D models is BY-NC-ND.– This licence is the most restrictive of our six main licences, only

allowing others to download your works and share them with

others as long as they credit you, but they can't change them in

any way or use them commercially.

� 30%-40% partners now using CC for managing their IPR.

� Publication formats and IPR protection– Security loophole in 3D-PDF

– Looking at HTML5/WebGL, UNREAL and Unity3D also.

– Nexus: Takes original hi-res model and renders WebGL on

screen. Converted files stored on owner’s server.

– Technologies offer some protection but nothing is hacker-proof.

Content IPR to be considered

� Content to be provided for Europeana– 3D models in suitable publication format

� Metadata to be provided to Europeana– Covered by the Data Exchange Agreement

� Metadata not provided to Europeana– CARARE 2.0 Schema much richer than EDM

� Content to be provided to a 3D-ICONS portal– Under discussion

� More complex models/data

� Richer metadata

� No conflict with Europeana

Europeana Data Exchange Agreement

� Europeana uses Creative Commons Licenses for

metadata

� Metadata supplied to Europeana is covered by the CC0

Licence– New content providers sometimes get confused by the DEA

� To summarise the DEA conditions:– All content suppliers have total control over the metadata

supplied to Europeana (and thumbnail images - optional)

– Suppliers can request to have metadata withdrawn

– Suppliers have absolute control over the content (URL).

– The metadata is designed to facilitate search and retrieval

– Metadata may be used in 3rd party apps (e.g. geo-locations).

Example of Geo-location data in use:

What is Where?

http://carare.eculturelab.eu/Ca

rare50m/Map.html

Maps the geo-location

(physical position) recorded for

each item supplied by

CARARE to Europeana.

IPR: NL do not supply

locations of marine wrecks.

CARARE 2.0 Metadata Schema

� Developed in the CARARE project as a rich schema for

archaeological domain– Based on existing standards with some additions (MIDAS, LIDO)

– Used for 3D models provided by CARARE (~ 50 3D-PDFs).

� CARARE 2.0 extended model to cover specific

requirements of 3D models– Provenance (London Charter paradata) e.g. digitisation and

processing methods, equipment used, datasets …)

� Mapped to EDM in MINT tool and ingested via MoRE.

CARARE 2.0 IPR Statements

� Specifies:

– Rights for whole collections

– Rights associated with the Heritage Asset,

– Rights associated with the digital object itself

(copyright, access rights, reproduction rights)

– Rights for the metadata.

Note that Metadata mapped to the EDM is

covered by the DEA and is CC0.

CARARE 2.0 IPR Statements

in Detail

1) Collection information

� Rights – associated with the collection as a whole.

2) Heritage Asset Identification Set

� Record Information - Basic administrative information about the record.

The information includes:

� Metadata Rights – statement about any rights to the metadata, include a

link to a licence online if appropriate.

� Rights (source = DC) – a statement of any rights associated with the

heritage asset.

� References – these are sources of information about the heritage asset in

publications and archival sources (for example, bibliographic references

etc.). Source = MIDAS + DCMI Terms. The information includes: Rights

(source = MIDAS) (Global)

3) Digital Resource

� Rights (source = MIDAS) (Global) – the rights associated with the digital

object itself.

The is information about the rights associated with the object, metadata and

the

digital surrogate being harvested into the service environment based on

MIDAS Heritage. The information includes:– Copyright credit line –rights holder and rights dates

– Access rights – access rights to the content.

– Reproduction rights – reproduction rights including contact information

– License – a URI indicating a license or conditions for the use of the object or

data,

– Europeana Rights – one of the 12 rights statements used by Europeana in its

portal. Required for content being provided to Europeana.

Mappings to EDM

The current mappings for IPR expressions in EDM can be

summarised as follows:

� 1) Provided Cultural Heritage Object e.g. Mona Lisa

painting– dc:rights (Optional)

� 2) ORE Aggregation – Cultural Heritage Object – edm:rights (Mandatory) = URI

� 3) Web Resource (digital object)– dc:rights (Optional)

– edm:rights (Optional) = URI.

ESE/EDM Metadata Schema

� Rights statements (DC: Rights) are either encoded as

literal statements or as URLs referring to web pages that

contain information about the applicable rights. The web

pages inform the user about the terms under which the

digital object and the corresponding preview can be

used. Europeana uses 12 different Creative Commons

rights statements in total which define the type of access

and use allowed or not. (Currently used for sorting by

Copyright).
