Content Tier 2 (Europeana as a showcase)

If you want to enable Europeana to use your 3D content as part of thematic collections and make it more accessible on the Europeana website then the content needs to be embeddable in a supported viewer or you need to provide a direct link to the content that can be streamed directly to a webpage (using WebGL, Javascript and the HTML5 canvas). This feature is not yet supported on the Europeana website and guidelines will be more specified with the work happening to deploy the European Data Space for Cultural Heritage.

Content Tier 3 (Europeana as a distribution platform for non-commercial reuse)

If you want to make use of Europeana as a distribution platform that enables the use of your 3D content by private individuals, educators and researchers then, in addition to the criteria described for Tier 2 above, you also need to make sure that the 3D content comes with one of the seven rights statements that allow reuse:

  • 4 Creative Commons licences: CC BY-NC, CC BY-ND, CC BY-NC-ND, CC BY-NC-SA;

  • 3 RightsStatements.org's statements: NoC-NC, NoC-OKLR, InC-EDU

Content Tier 4 (Europeana as a free reuse platform)

If you want to make use of Europeana as a platform that enables the free reuse of your 3D content then, in addition to the criteria described for Tiers 2 and 3 above, you also need to make sure that the 3D content comes with a rights statement that allows free reuse (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0 or PDM).

Rights**

2

A media resource is available*

Any of the available rights statements

3

A media resource is available*

Associated media resource has either open or restricted rights statement:

  • 4 Creative Commons licences: CC-BY-NC, CC BY-ND, CC-BY-NC-ND, CC-BY-NC-SA

  • 3 RightsStatements.org’s statements: NC-OKLR, NoC-NC, InC-EDU

4

A media resource is available*

Associated media resource has only open rights statement:

PDM, CC-0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA

*A media resource is available - true if at least one working edm:WebResource associated via edm:isShownBy and/or edm:hasView exists that is not an image (“image/...”) or PDF (“application/pdf”).

**Rights: Important note on your willingness to open up for reuse relevant for contentTier:3 and contentTier:4. Only content of the highest quality that can be freely reused or reused to some degree can reach the highest content tiers. If the content quality is too low to reach content tiers 3 or 4, the rights statement is not taken into account by the algorithm that calculates content tiers, meaning that you can use any of the available rights statements supported by Europeana, as the chosen rights statement will not play a role.

For guidelines on which URI for specific rights statement you should use when providing EDM, consult this page.
