7. GENERAL REMARKS
- A radically open infrastructure for distribution of our
material has proven to enable unexpected results and
types of reuse that reach an enormous and diverse
audience.
- Our ‘open’ collection is just a very small proportion (<
1%) of the entire collection, so there is still huge potential
in opening up the archive even further.

8. OPEN IMAGES
Open Images is an open media platform that offers
online access to audiovisual archive material to
stimulate (creative) reuse.
Sound and Vision uses this platform to openly distribute
its own historical newsreels collection and metadata
(over 3,000 items, CC-BY-SA).

10. BengDB
Linking to Wikimedia
• GTAA is linked to
Wikidata (as authority
control)
• Wikidata as source of
most current data
• Combination of
anecdotal and
encyclopedic
information

11. OPEN DATA: what’s next?
1-6-2015
Creating meaningful links between
our open data and other (cultural)
data sets.

12. Open Cultuur Data is a network of professionals from the
cultural industries, developers, designers, IPR-experts and
open data experts. It opens up cultural data en stimulates
de development of new applications.
Challenges:
• Still an isolated approach (most apps are build on a
single dataset)
• Not all data is included in the OCD API
• Lacks functionality and reach to meaningfully link to
other then cultural data (e.g. metereological data)
OPEN CULTUUR DATA
Open Cultuur Data is initiated by Open State Foundation, Kennisland and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.
