Economy

The key to being able to make the switch from Aggregator to Distributor serving the user wherever they are was

changing the licensing framework

CC0Open content

Paid content

Correct rights labels

Our interaction with users is still very much ‘push’

in this ‘linear model’, there is not enough sense of shared ownership and cooperation

in the current governance structure the ‘users’ take no part

Can we rethink Europeana as a Commons or set of Commons?
