CommonsDB surpasses 1 million declarations

"Since launching the CommonsDB Explorer late last year and moving the prototype registry into active testing, we have focused on scaling up the volume of registry declarations. The registry has now surpassed one million declarations, thanks to the contributions of our project partners, the Europeana Foundation and Wikimedia Sverige....

The goal of CommonsDB is to create a reliable and accessible infrastructure for identifying and verifying the rights status of digital content. Our metadata model and trust architecture ensure that whether a machine or a human queries the registry about a work, the returned declaration data is clear, consistent, and securely linked to a verified identity. This allows anyone to independently check who has contributed rights information about specific works."
