ARROW
Increasing demand for content on the internet
Content moves from printed material to digital format
Consumers buy rights for the digital use of content Get access, download, duplicate, distribute, print, etc.
Good information structure for print material ISBN, Books in Print, National bibliographies
Solutions for a digital information infrastructure needed
2
Towards a «Digital Information Infrastructure»
Inclusion of copyrighted works in the digitisation programmes
High Level Expert Group on Digital Libraries (HLG) Address the organisational, legal and technical challenges Contribute to a shared strategic vision for European digital
libraries Consultate with stakeholders
Copyright Subgroup Analyse Intellectual Property Right (IPR) Issues
Digital preservation Orphan works Out-of-print-works
3
i2010 Digital Libraries initiative
“In some cases rightholders cannot be identified
or located; as a result, works can be classified as ‘orphan’. […] Both text-based and audiovisual material include substantial amounts of works with unclear copyright status.”
(i2010 Digital Libraries High Level Expert Group – Copyright Subgroup, 2007)
4
Orphan works
British Library estimates 40% of all print works are orphan works
Outcome Digitisation & online accessibility is hampered Libraries are prevented from their preservation &
dissemination mandate
Proposed solution Databases with information on orphan works Improved inclusion of information on rightholders Enhanced contractual practices Diligent search guidelines
5
Orphan works
“A work that is commercially not available, as
declared by the appropriate rightholders,
regardless of the existence of tangible copies of the work as normally
understood.” (i2010 Digital Libraries High Level Expert Group – Copyright
Subgroup, 2007)
6
Out-of-print works
Most of the 20th Century works are out-of-print-works
Outcome A work might be still of high cultural or scientific interest For digitisation projects each title has to be contracted
separately
Proposed solution A model license Establishment of a database of out-of-print works A joint clearance centre A procedure to clear rights
7
Out-of-print works
Germany www.libreka.de Marketing- und Verlagsservice des Buchhandels (MVB) Publishers provide services for full text search within books
Norway National Library, a collecting society and Author’s and
Publisher’s Associations Agreement to provide access to full text via library services
France http://gallica2.bnf.fr/ National Library and Publisher’s Association Realistic model for the coexistence of public and private
offers

Recent initiatives
National solutions vary as they must fit different… cultural and economic requirements commercial practices publishing arenas library infrastructures and visions copyright regulations
Resources are not interoperable Differences in the data collection policies Differences in adopted meta data schemes
Databases rarely contain metadata about rights ownership and usage policies
