Metadata

MissouriHub

Metadata

DPLA does not host digital assets, nor does the Hub

Purpose of the Hub is to normalize/regularize metadata so it can be passed to DPLA in a unified stream

DPLA only stores Metadata + Link to Thumbnail (if exists) + Link back to digital asset in contributing repository

DPLA does value-added post-processing on the metadata to enable search facets for DATE & PLACE Richer discovery experience

DPLA IS A REPOSITORY OF METADATA

All metadata shared with DPLA MUST be provided under a CC0 license This applies only to metadata - not digital assets

What is CC0? Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication “…has dedicated the work to the public domain by waiving

all of his or her rights to the work worldwide under copyright law…”

“You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.”

Why this approach? Metadata are statements, facts Restrictions limit reuse en masse
