Objective 2.1.aContent for Europeana

Some issues to consider:

• Is the content to be made accessible through Europeana of interest and to whom?

• Does it constitute critical mass / why?• How are you going to ensure that your metadata meet the technical

and licensing requirements of Europeana?• How will you ensure availability of the content after the end of the

project?

Objective 2.1.aContent for Europeana

Objective 2.1.bExperimenting with the use of cultural material for creativity

Impact: easier retrieval of copyright info, sustainable open infrastructure facilitating trading in rights

2 Pilot B (one each)

Aims:(Audiovisual works)

• To demonstrate solutions to provide better information on rights and to facilitate clearance of these rights in order to develop registries of orphan-out-of-commerce works.

(Standards for rights information)

• To develop systems for online rights trading including automatedlicensing.

• create an interoperable communication layer between registries and user transaction services.

Objective 2.1.cEuropean Rights Information Management

Objective 2.1.dNew business models for publishing in the digital age

Open Data and open access to content

12 M€

Objective 2.2Open Data and open access to content

Commission Communication an Open Data (Dec 2011)

• Strengthen European innovative potential and use of its resources

• public data for re-use: geographical information, statistics, weather data, data from publicly funded research projects, and digitised books from libraries

• overcome existing barriers and fragmentation across the EU:• Adapting the legal framework for data re-use• Mobilising financing instruments in support of open data• Facilitating coordination and experience sharing across the MS

• Estimated overall economic gains from opening up PSI (Vickery Study, 2011) : €40 billion/year for the EU27 / € 140 billion/year direct and indirect gains EU 27

Objective 2.2Open Data and open access to content

Aims• Stimulate the opening up of European data

resources for re-use by businesses• Work on legal aspects of Public Sector Information

and standards for open data• Experiment with Open Access to scientific

information

Objective 2.2Open Data and open access to content

Thematic Network4. Organising competitions for using open data

2 Thematic Networks3. Legal aspects of Public Sector Information and standards for open data

Pilots B2. Open access to scientific information

Pilot A1. Geographic Information

Funding instrument:4 target outcomes:

Objective 2.2.aGeographic Information

• Foster the wider use of spatial data by public and private sector organisations and citizens

• Make available harmonised information related to the INSPIRE Directive

• Foster development of innovative value-added services by the private sector

Conditions: Critical mass (significant part of territory at least 6 MS), rights clearance, accessibility and reusability datasets bythird parties, multilingualism, exploitation and indicators.

Impact: economic growth through value-added services created by the private sector and based on the innovative use ofharmonized public geographic information datasets.

Pilot A

Objective 2.2.aGeographic Information

Focus:• making available harmonised information related to the

themes of INSPIRE Directive• innovative value-added services based on interoperable

information on a cross-border or pan-European level• availability of developed datasets for access, use and reuse

for a variety of uses

Objective 2.2.a

Baseline on geographic information17 GI projects in eContentplus and CIP to build on

-lessons learned – no repetition - consensus -demonstrate added value

Support enabling services e.g.

- visualisation of information layers- overlay of information from different sources- spatial and temporal analysis

Scalable to pan-European coverage- Explore extending results to other strategic sectors

(transport, agriculture, health etc)- Seek stakeholder consensus!

Objective 2.2.bOpen access to scientific information

• Support experiments with open access to scientific information

• Explore new paradigms for accessing, querying, using and evaluating this information ( e.g. article level assessment, text mining, research/research paper identifiers, etc)

Impact: Opening wider access to more scientific information, contributing to new ways to asses and re-use evaluate scientific informationPilot B

Objective 2.2.c Legal aspects of PSI and

standards for open data

• Legal aspects of PSI - barriers to access to and reuse of PSI

• Standards for open data

Conditions: involve legal experts (PSI) and broad range of stakeholders (OD)

Impact: Identification of legal barriers and agreement on standards

Thematic Networks (two)

Objective 2.2.c Legal aspects of PSI and standards for open data

Standards for open data• Interoperability (technical and legal) and open data• Broad range of stakeholders (content holders,

academics, civil societies, etc.)

Objective 2.2.c Organising competitions

for using open data

• Organise competitions for using open data and stimulate the winners to start business ventures

• covering government data, publicly funded scientific data and publicly funded cultural content

Conditions: coordination requires solid experience, and clear follow up mechanisms.
