Overview

Given the variety of obstacles, mostly of a legal nature, that France has to face with respect to opening up cultural heritage content and data, Wikimedia France and the Open Knowledge Foundation invite you to come and work together to identify how to move forward and identify the proper legal means to simplify the distribution of open cultural content.

We wish to bring together individuals from a variety of GLAM institutions, as well as people concerned with the issues of copyright law in the digital environment, in order to establish a working group aimed at the development of a detailed action plan for opening up cultural data and cultural content held by cultural institutions. The objective is also to produce a number of deliverables (e.g. white papers) that could eventually serve as a basis for legislative changes, or, at least, help other cultural institutions in the process of opening up their content and data.

If the ultimate goal is the promotion of French cultural heritage by encouraging the dissemination and reuse of cultural data, our task is to identify the most efficient means to reach that goal.
