About the 3D-ICONS Project
Three year Best Practice Network
– To supply approx. 3,000 3D models of iconic monuments and
–
–
–
–
buildings to Europeana
Develop a process pipeline to cover digitisation to publication
of 3D models and address IPR management.
19 partners, 17 content providers, one technology provider and
MDR Partners for project management and dissemination.
Started February 2012.
Challenges have included:
Definitions – small and large models, entities, details …
IPR (signature of DEA, agreement with authorities)
Publication formats – technology developments

3D-Models: IPR Attitudes
Partners are supplying content from UK, France, Italy,
Spain, Greece, Belgium, Romania, Ireland and Cyprus.
– Many own existing digital models
– New digitisation happening. Authorities attitudes vary from
–
–
–
–
refusal of permission to enthusiastic promotion.
Some partners have had protracted discussions with rights
owners regarding the existing data and derivative models.
Owners of data which may have intrinsic value to them as rights
holders. IPR policies can be “legacy”.
Other national authorities who see 3D as a good way to
promote interest in cultural heritage and increase tourism.
Authorities under economic pressure …

The 3D-ICONS Approach
Default IPR position for 3D models is BY-NC-ND.
– This licence is the most restrictive of our six main licences, only
allowing others to download your works and share them with
others as long as they credit you, but they can't change them in
any way or use them commercially.
30%-40% partners now using CC for managing their IPR.
Publication formats and IPR protection
– Security loophole in 3D-PDF
– Looking at HTML5/WebGL, UNREAL and Unity3D also.
– Nexus: Takes original hi-res model and renders WebGL on
screen. Converted files stored on owner’s server.
– Technologies offer some protection but nothing is hacker-proof.

Content IPR to be considered
Content to be provided for Europeana
– 3D models in suitable publication format
Metadata to be provided to Europeana
– Covered by the Data Exchange Agreement
Metadata not provided to Europeana
– CARARE 2.0 Schema much richer than EDM
Content to be provided to a 3D-ICONS portal
– Under discussion
More complex models/data
Richer metadata
No conflict with Europeana

Europeana Data Exchange Agreement
Europeana uses Creative Commons Licenses for
metadata
Metadata supplied to Europeana is covered by the CC0
Licence
– New content providers sometimes get confused by the DEA
To summarise the DEA conditions:
– All content suppliers have total control over the metadata
–
–
–
–
supplied to Europeana (and thumbnail images - optional)
Suppliers can request to have metadata withdrawn
Suppliers have absolute control over the content (URL).
The metadata is designed to facilitate search and retrieval
Metadata may be used in 3rd party apps (e.g. geo-locations).

Example of Geo-location data in use:
What is Where?
http://carare.eculturelab.eu/Ca
rare50m/Map.html
Maps the geo-location
(physical position) recorded for
each item supplied by
CARARE to Europeana.
IPR: NL do not supply
locations of marine wrecks.

CARARE 2.0 Metadata Schema
Developed in the CARARE project as a rich schema for
archaeological domain
– Based on existing standards with some additions (MIDAS, LIDO)
– Used for 3D models provided by CARARE (~ 50 3D-PDFs).
CARARE 2.0 extended model to cover specific
requirements of 3D models
– Provenance (London Charter paradata) e.g. digitisation and
processing methods, equipment used, datasets …)
Mapped to EDM in MINT tool and ingested via MoRE.

CARARE 2.0 IPR Statements
Specifies:
– Rights for whole collections
– Rights associated with the Heritage Asset,
– Rights associated with the digital object itself
(copyright, access rights, reproduction rights)
– Rights for the metadata.
Note that Metadata mapped to the EDM is
covered by the DEA and is CC0.

CARARE 2.0 IPR Statements
in Detail
1) Collection information
Rights – associated with the collection as a whole.
2) Heritage Asset Identification Set
Record Information - Basic administrative information about the record.
The information includes:
Metadata Rights – statement about any rights to the metadata, include a
link to a licence online if appropriate.
Rights (source = DC) – a statement of any rights associated with the
heritage asset.
References – these are sources of information about the heritage asset in
publications and archival sources (for example, bibliographic references
etc.). Source = MIDAS + DCMI Terms. The information includes: Rights
(source = MIDAS) (Global)

3) Digital Resource
Rights (source = MIDAS) (Global) – the rights associated with the digital
object itself.
The is information about the rights associated with the object, metadata and
the
digital surrogate being harvested into the service environment based on
MIDAS Heritage. The information includes:
– Copyright credit line –rights holder and rights dates
– Access rights – access rights to the content.
– Reproduction rights – reproduction rights including contact information
– License – a URI indicating a license or conditions for the use of the object or
data,
– Europeana Rights – one of the 12 rights statements used by Europeana in its
portal. Required for content being provided to Europeana.

Mappings to EDM
The current mappings for IPR expressions in EDM can be
summarised as follows:
1) Provided Cultural Heritage Object e.g. Mona Lisa
painting
– dc:rights (Optional)
2) ORE Aggregation – Cultural Heritage Object
– edm:rights (Mandatory) = URI
3) Web Resource (digital object)
– dc:rights (Optional)
– edm:rights (Optional) = URI.

ESE/EDM Metadata Schema
Rights statements (DC: Rights) are either encoded as
literal statements or as URLs referring to web pages that
contain information about the applicable rights. The web
pages inform the user about the terms under which the
digital object and the corresponding preview can be
used. Europeana uses 12 different Creative Commons
rights statements in total which define the type of access
and use allowed or not. (Currently used for sorting by
Copyright).
