Europeana: Next Steps
On 15 November 2009, CEPIC submitted a response to the Europeana questionnaire, at least to some of the questions most relevant to our industry.
"We support the Europeana initiative as a not for profit project aimed at education and research and welcome the questionnaire as a way to bring Europeana to the next level. Europeana should be a label of quality for researchers in Europe and all over the world. It should be a leader in transmitting knowledge.
CEPIC wishes to offer the perspective of copyright owners professionally managing huge digital databases and proposing millions of quality image material from the birth of photography to the present day.
CEPIC is willing to be a partner of Europeana, offering support in terms of IP management, advice in technology, finding image partners in Europe and creating European rights agreements."
