Hi all,

Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), with support of Creative Commons and Kennisland, are developing a technical framework for interoperable rights statements, a neutral namespace for rights statements of in copyright works that cultural heritage. The project is build on the work done by Europeana working on a Europeana Licensing Framework. Europeana now allows their data to be tagged with all available Creative Commons licenses and legal tools, but also developed 5 statements to communicate the rights status of a heritage work: 

Out of copyright - non commercial re-use
Rights Reserved - Free Access
Rights Reserved - Paid Access
Orphan Work
Unknown

In collaboration with the DPLA and Creative Commons we are now developing a neutral namespace for these statements. A working group has developed a white paper on the rights statements (https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1x10JsIfi8Y74pgJJEAqMtyO5iYp0p6DO5DrOZK-5umY/edit?usp=sharing) but more importantly for this a white paper on a technical infrastructure for this namespace: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H6TWxGARqUMxJrc2sXjaBlOsg7UkUTb27rvtS8aC5y4/edit

Please have a technical look at the latter and let us know what you think using Google Docs comments capabilities. An announcement post can be found here: http://pro.europeana.eu/blogpost/developing-and-implementing-a-technical-framework-for-interopera

Public feedback ends at the 26th of June.

Kind regards,

Maarten Zeinstra
