D

Data
Data conveys the wider category of GLAM collections data, like both digitized and born digital images, descriptive data, metadata, paradata, and other materials. For open GLAM, recognizing collections as data is key to unlocking their computational value for purposes like text and data mining, data visualization, mapping, image or audio analysis, network analysis, and machine learning. Also, we’ll use the singular form of data (e.g., “data is” rather than “data are”). For all you data pluralists, just get on board with it now and things will be easier.

Data exchange agreement (DEA)
Data exchange agreement (DEA) refers to the agreement that governs the exchange of data between Europeana and its Data Partners.

The Europeana Data Exchange Agreement (DEA) is the central element of the Europeana Licensing Framework.

The DEA structures the relationship between Europeana and its data providers. It establishes two main rules relating to the intellectual property rights (IPR) in the metadata and content delivered to Europeana:

  • All metadata submitted to Europeana will be published as open data under the terms of the Creative Commons Zero Public Domain Dedication (CC0).
  • Each digital object (which includes the associated preview) that is available via Europeana needs to carry a rights statement that describes its copyright status and informs the users what they can or cannot do with the digital object. If an underlying material object is in the public domain, its digital surrogate should remain in the public domain.
