Hello,

As part of the OpenGlam network, Wikimédia France and the Open Knowledge Foundation have published an a white paper on “Guidelines on opening cultural data and content”.

Back in April and May, WM-Fr and OKF organised two workshops about public domain and cultural content, attended by lawyers, staff of cultural institutions, people from the ministry of Culture, and open content advocatives (see the relevant TMIG [1] [2])

Over the summer, Benjamin Jean (lawyer & free content advocative), Lionel Maurel (lawyer & library curator), Adrienne Alix (WmFr) & Primavera de Filippi (OKF) summarised the workgroup discussions.

The white paper is available on http://www.donneeslibres.info/

Best,

Rémi Wikimedia France Chair[3]
