Presenting the Open Content Exchange Platform | OpenGLAM

"Last year Open Knowledge joined the eSpace (Europeana Space) project to cooperate on the work for the Content Space, one of the spaces of possibility for the creative reuse of digital cultural content which this project is developing. Recently this Content Space went live, including the first version of the Open Content Exchange Platform, a resource developed by Open Knowledge that provides guidelines and tools for the effective exchange of public domain and openly licensed content between both suppliers and users of open content.  In the Content Space (which is one of three spaces being developed in eSpace alongside the Innovation Space and the Technical Space), you can find a variety of resources, including:

• information about licensing, rights labelling and associated new technical standards
• guidelines on how to identify reusable content
• guidance, tools and resources on openly licensed and public domain materials
• case studies based on the E-Space pilots
• legal advice and tools for the lawful reuse of digital content

Open Knowledge is building the Open Content Exchange Platform as part of this Content Space: a directory of materials and sources related to the value of digital public domain and best practices around open licensing, creative reuse of open content and open strategies for business modelling ..."
