"Digital transitions in the Cultural Heritage Sector"
Understanding the digital future of Cultural Heritage and Research
Cultural heritage institutions are certainly guardians of vast collections of cultural content whose re-use could certainly generate benefits for the society. For this reason, we are interested in getting to know from your side whether you are actually allowing the re-use of your collections or whether you would be willing to do so and for which purposes. Are you willing to offer the re-use of the works in your collections for non-commercial purposes such as educational or research purposes or also for commercial purposes? We are aware that there may be legal and other barriers that may prevent the re-use of the collections. If so, we would like to hear from you which are the main barriers that you find in your daily activities.

Another question to @ryancanhelpyou but also to @saschel and the audience. First of all, thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us, it is really impressive. Given that we are looking at potential barriers to the reuse of cultural content, I heard that Ryan explained that some 'culturally sensitive' content is out of your Open Access policies. I imagine that this is liked to works from Traditional cultural expressions and folklore from certain communities. Could you explain a bit more on that? how do you decide on which works are out of OA? do other institutions have similar experiences? this is pretty much into our radar for research and we would like to know more!
