Because the world she lives in is different than the
world most museums were created for.

“In the early days of the British Museum, prospective visitors had to make a written application and undergo a brief interview to determine if they were fit to be admitted at all.”
Museums used to be openonly to the elite

Open access and human rights are profoundly
connected

Article 27 (1) Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
The obligations, benefits, and joy of global access are expressed in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These values are manifest in our missions and social contract.

Introduction
1. Science and culture are not only of great importance to the knowledge economy; they are also fundamental to human dignity and autonomy.
2. In that area, two influential paradigms of international law — intellectual property and human rights — have evolved largely separately.
3. Recent developments, however, have rendered the interface of those two regimes more salient.
Wow!

What does it meanto be open?
![Page 15: The Future is Open](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110201/55cccccabb61ebfa0c8b4596/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Broadly speaking, open is a spectrum of alternatives to “traditional” models of control over intellectual property and authority, meant to enable the broadest possible access to and re-use of resources.
![Page 16: The Future is Open](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110201/55cccccabb61ebfa0c8b4596/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
More people accessing and using cultural & scientific resources means bigger
audiences, more creation, more benefit to society

“Museums are deconstructing,piece by piece, the authoritarianmodel that presumes control of what people see, what they learn and how they learn it”

“Our understanding of research, education, artistic creativity, and the progress of knowledge is built upon the axiom that no idea stands alone and all innovation is built on the ideas and innovations of others.”
Smithsonian InstitutionWeb and New Media Strategy, 2009

Open SourceThe revolutionary idea that sharing source code, rather than keeping it a secret, can improve the quality of software, create new markets, and catalyze innovation on a global scale
Many other forms of openness are derived from the success of the open source software movement

The Public Domain
Not owned by anyone.
“The public domain is not some gummy residue left behind when all the good stuff has been covered by property law. The public domain is the place where we quarry the building blocks of our culture. It is, in fact, the majority of our culture.”
James BoyleThe Public Domain
![Page 27: The Future is Open](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110201/55cccccabb61ebfa0c8b4596/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In America, the original framers of copyright said that the public domain is
the natural state of intellectual property, and
copyright should only be a temporary and cautiously
granted exception
![Page 28: The Future is Open](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110201/55cccccabb61ebfa0c8b4596/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“It is important for memory organizations to recognize that as the guardians of our shared culture and knowledge they play a central role in enabling the creativity of citizens and providing the raw materials for contemporary culture, science, innovation and economic growth.”

The Creative Commons gives owners of intellectual property some flexibility above-and-beyond the strict boundaries of traditional copyright.
If you own the copyright for something, you can use a Creative Commons “license” to give others permission to re-use it.
If you want to use something that is under copyright, Creative Commons licenses tell you what you can do with the resource without having to ask the owner

“The most widely used open licenses are the Creative Commons licenses. It is estimated that, by 2015, those licenses will have been attached to more than 1 billion creative works, including photos, websites, music, government databases, UNESCO publications, journal articles and educational textbooks… The idea behind [those] efforts is to create a “cultural commons,” in which everyone can access, share and recombine cultural works.”

“The visual arts field is pervaded with a permissions culture, the widespread acceptance that all new uses of copyrighted material must be expressly authorized. This assumption has taken its toll on practice in every area of the visual arts field…As digital opportunities emerge, old frustrations with this permissions culture have taken on a new urgency.”

“The costs were tremendously high. Just one image cost several hundred dollars, and that would only buy us clearance for a limited period of time.

“Everyone interviewed wants to recoup costs but almost none claimed to actually achieve or expected to achieve this…Even those services that claimed to recoup full costs generally did not account fully for salary costs or overhead expenses.”

“Some museums have the technological, financial, and human resources to make the leap to open access in one step… Others are taking the process in steps as resources and time permit.”

“Default to Open, Not Closed
Like most things heretical, open is terrifying to the establishment mindset. It’s a lot easier to compete by locking customers into your nice closed world than it is by venturing out into the open wild and competing on innovation and merit. With open you trade control for scale and innovation.”
