BENEFITS OF OPEN CULTURE DATA

Open Images is an open media platform that offers online access to audiovisual archive material to stimulate creative reuse.

Built by Sound and Vision & Knowledgeland but designed for participation by others.

Allowing (creative) reuse

• CC-BY-SA as preferred license• 3,000 items from our ‘own’ collection• Currently more than 2,000 items

available• ‘Internet quality’

Some numbers:

Estimated length of entire S&V archive: 800,000 h

Estimated length of ‘our’ newsreel collection: 500 h

Estimated length of material in Open Images: 55 h

So currently 11% of ‘our’ newsreel collection is open through Open Images and 0,007% of our entire archive.

10-04-23

• With about 1,500 items on Wikimedia Commons, more than 500 Dutch Wikipedia articles are using Open Images material• But it is also being used on about 700 Wikipedia articles in 63 different languages• All together these articles received more than 2,5 million views on average each month• Total viewed articles in 2011 about 15,5 million, already 20,8 in 2012 • The majority of views have shifted from the Dutch Wikipedia to the English Wikipedia
