5. 2. Key results
Successful transition to the new licensing
framework (minimal data loss, general
acceptance of the transition among data
providers)
Significant reduction of the amount of non-rights
labeled objects available via Europeana.
Steady increase of the share of objects available
via Europeana that can be re-used by third
parties.
Development of a comprehensive strategy for the
rights labeling campaign (started in Q1 2013), see
deliverable D5.1

6. 3. Key Performance Indicators
1.4 Increase in labeled Public Domain material
1029271 (target for 2012 was: 500.000)
5.1 Percentage of Europeana data providers
complying with licensing framework progress
66% (target for 2012 was 60%)
5.2 Amount of material accessible through
Europeana that is labelled to allow re-use
27% (target for 2012 was 15% for 2014 is is 30%)
5.3 Amount of works labelled with the public
domain mark
4.544.653 (target for 2012 was 463.507 for 2014 it is 2M)

7. 4. Lessons learned
Much better understanding of the quality of rights
metadata in Europeana (and as a side product of
the nature of collections in Europeana)
Transition to the new licensing framework has
taken up more time than initially expected but
that has resulted in a much more comprehensive
uptake than initially expected.
We have over estimated the amount of
knowledge about the rights status of collections
among the data providers, and need to continue
to educate data providers.
