1. What about our mirrors and forks and reusers; do they get the same
rights? How about users who want to download media dumps?
This is at least two different problems, one is reuse when the content
is free and the other is reuse when the content is free due to an
agreement. For the moment
I stumbled upon this too during discussions with institutions in Norway,
it seems like the number of times some material is accessed is a very
interesting selling point. It is although not necessary to store the
image any specific place for this, it is the actual statistics that is
interesting.
Aggregated statistics for a complete GLAM is interesting, but it seems
like they ask about usage stats and metadata about individual items.
For example it is _very_ interesting that a otherwise rather anonymous
photo from 1890 from the GallriNOR-collection is used in an article
about Oat that has
Hoi,
We do have those kinds of statistics already.. aggregating is important
because such an overall numbers can be considered a KPI while an individual
statistic is interesting.
I learned that KPI is key performance indicator ... :) I still have to think
what the acronym is there for

I thought I'd better write up a report about the conference I went to
last week, to justify the time I spent there. I'll give some general
observations followed by some technical ones.
GLAM-WIKI was a two-day conference billed as a meeting between
Australia's GLAM sector (galleries, libraries,

Hoi,
Not necessarily. One acronym I learned was KPI, when a GLAM has as a key
performance indicator the number of times a picture is actually accessed, it
may affect the amount of subsidy they get. There is no reason why an image
cannot be made available to the people who want that image on their
