WHAT IS DPLA?
1. A portal that delivers students, teachers, scholars, and the public to incredible resources, wherever they may be in America.
2. A platform that enables new and transformative uses of our digitized cultural heritage.
3. An advocate for a strong public option in the twenty-fi rst century. The DPLA seeks to multiply openly accessible materials to strengthen the public option that libraries represent in their communities.

Missouri Digital Heritage is the state-wide platform Intake engine for getting new content online, especially
from smaller, tech-challenged organizations Well-established Available via OAI-PMH
The Missouri Hub is an aggregator Onramp to DPLA Pulls content from repositories within Missouri, can include

Metadata
MissouriHub
Metadata
DPLA does not host digital assets, nor does the Hub
Purpose of the Hub is to normalize/regularize metadata so it can be passed to DPLA in a unified stream
DPLA only stores Metadata + Link to Thumbnail (if exists) + Link back to digital asset in contributing repository
DPLA does value-added post-processing on the metadata to enable search facets for DATE & PLACE Richer discovery experience
DPLA IS A REPOSITORY OF METADATA
All metadata shared with DPLA MUST be provided under a CC0 license This applies only to metadata - not digital assets
What is CC0? Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication “…has dedicated the work to the public domain by waiving
all of his or her rights to the work worldwide under copyright law…”
“You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.”
Why this approach? Metadata are statements, facts Restrictions limit reuse en masse
