WHY

PUBLIC MISSION“For [GLAM] content to be truly accessible, it needs to be where the users

are, embedded in their daily networked lives.” Waibel and Erway, 2009

“No matter who you are,most of the smartest people work for someone else.” Joy’s Law

STIMULATING COLLABORATION AND CREATIVITY

NEELIE KROES | VICE-president for the EC digital agenda & Open Data

“I urge cultural institutions to open up control of their data [...] there is a wonderful opportunity to show how cultural material can contribute to innovation, how it can become a driver of new developments. Museums, archives and libraries should not miss it.”
