Transcript of Creative Commons and DigitalNZ by Thomasin Sleigh
Helping make NZ digital content easier to find, share, and use.
At DigitalNZ, we work to:
- support our content partners to be clear and consistent in their rights statements
- ensure content is as ‘open’ as possible
- build and protect a rich digital public domain for all New Zealanders to access and reuse.
In the DigitalNZdata:
Common issues we see:
- no rights or usage statements.
- rights statements which are unclear or inconsistent.
- rights statements which are buried out of the way in a website, instead of alongside content.
- rights statements are inconsistent on similar content across collections.
- content which is in the public domain in its physical form, but has been re-licensed in its digital form. For example, using CC on out-of-copyright material.
Creative Commons licences are a great way to provide clear,
consistent, and less restrictive access to your online collection.
Promoting free & open access to digital cultural heritage
What does ‘open’ mean?
A world in which our shared cultural heritage is open toall, regardless of their background.
A world in which people are no longer passive consumers of cultural content created by an elite, but contribute,participate, create and share.
