Everyone should know what they can do with the works they discover through Europeana Collections. This is the basic premise that drives our work to help data partners apply the most appropriate rights statements to the objects they publish. What if we made the information we publish about copyright and reuse available in your native language? Would it make it easier for you to understand and share?
Recent research by Kennisland identified that 62% of content published via Europeana have accurate rights statements, and that there are common issues that lead to the 38% that are inaccurate.
